    Thanks for the bolt motor pic DH! It was flipped horizontal so I flipped it and now the bolt motor drive lines up with the rack.

    Do you have any pics of the lug door open?
    What would lead you to believe the door is not HHM?
    Do you have other pics of the door you can share?
    Do you know of any other Door-in-Door vaults?

    Back in March there was a short discussion of the Williamsburgh Savings Bank in Brooklyn and a rare Yale Double Dial lock. I believe I found another in the Sullivan Free Library in Chittenango NY (101 Falls Bl). See for example http://www.chittenango69.com/class_custom3.cfm about 1/4 of the way down. See also page 114 of American Genius.

    This is not a new image to me, but I just realized it is another Yale Double Dial --

    This is in the basement of a bank that is now a private residence, so I won't point out the location (it was also discussed in another thread, http://www.antique-locks.com/showthr...ht=spring+city).

    I'm pretty certain there's video of that door being opened or closed on YouTube.

    She looks past her best but would be none the worse for a bit of TLC and a general overhaul.

    A professional restoration on the door would be nice but is probably out of range of the owner's budget.

    Default Bank of Lithuania

    Here is the Milner's vault door from the Bank of Lithuania. Not sure what kind of locking mechanism this is?
