    These folks have no caring for a valuable and hard to find antique, I have little use for folks like that

    Default In need of a fork key

    I too have this safe. But, no key. I have not damaged and/or tried to break into the safe. I want to be able to learn how to make a fork key. Or be connected to someone that is in my area (Canon City, Colorado). That will help me.

    Default Hall's Grasshopper Lock.

    Here's what an original key look's like. If you like reading patents learning the lock's operation it's # 5686.

    These pics are of a friends safe, who is quite a collector.
