That is an interesting floor plan, make sure not to make these on banks that are still in business, it may get you into trouble

Just kidding of course, well done!

Thanks! I am not a locksmith, just a safe/padlock/vault door enthusiast. Vault doors are works of art and I have been curious about them for a long time. There just doesn't appear to be a comprehensive resource on vault doors, which is why I started the 'Vault Door Book' post. I am working on a 'Vault Door Anatomy' file that labels components and their use. I have been gathering information found in vault door patents but I still have many questions.

Here is the first pass at "Vault Door Anatomy". Corrections and/or suggestions for improvement are appreciated

OK, that makes more sense. Two separate vaults, one on top of each other but otherwise not interconnected (in the sense you can get from one to the other; they do share a floor/ceiling). One for safe deposit boxes, the other for bank use. Calling it a two-story vault is technically true but a little misleading.

There is additional info on the two-story vault at the hotel's history page.

Here is an interior view of a remote combination viewer vault door closed and locked. This is one of two rectangular vault doors located at the Industrial Trust Bank in Rhode Island. If anyone has pics of other closed and locked remote combo vaults please share, thx.

The time lock on this vault was originally a Sargent & Greenleaf Model M. It has since been altered to accept modern and much smaller Swiss movements. The original configuration would have looked like this example

Huh, a compulsive collector of timelock conversions. Timelocks I have one with your name written all over it. A Mosler with round bottom 96 hr. Yale movements formerly owned by John Erroll. Now if I could only reduce the picture size.

The Combination Viewer appears to be missing in this pic:



Perhaps it was removed for maintenance or to replace the glass? The pic is posted here: http://www.bizbash.com/displays-lobb....5L8VBqAE.dpbs
