    Cheers Gary it sounds like you saw my share as well!!
    I’d have loved to have worked on that many but only ever saw a couple of the later europlanets.
    Also well done for starting the new thread on the planets and plastic safes -they are worthy of a dedicated thread and cheers for adding all the great info. In fact it makes sense to add a link here;

    Funny you mentioned the cennox- I had just dug out the last Chubb vault doors brochure I have that covered all the big 750mm treasury doors (pre Gunnebo) and there’s a section at the back on the cennox panelled stuff.

    Cepasaccus,

    Have you worked on/seen some of the older generation Bode Panzer safes.
    Images of them on the internet look like they are a very serious looking safe.
    Leicher safes also seem like they are very heavy duty.

    I do have only experience with Bode-Panzers ATM type safes from probably the last 20 years. Bode-Panzer is one of the big, old, German safe manufacturers, just like Ostertag, Franz Leicher, Garny, Pohlschroeder and in early times Arnheim. They are all gone now. I have seen recently Russian safes sold with a Leicher sticker on them. Typical for the old, German safes are disks with a slot for the bolt work acting as active relockers.

    I have worked on modern bode panzer atms and leicher modern grade 6 safes and high grade strongrooms and rate their quality and construction highly, not really seen their older stuff except for photos but think top quality gear.

    I have been recently at an opening of an oversized Wertheim grade V CD safe. About 2.2m high and 1.1m wide with a weight of nearly 2.6 tonnes. It astonished me how much the safe suppressed sound transmission.
