    Default Chubb-Mosler-Taylor Safe

    Hey Guys,

    i buy Locked safe for restoration as a hobby since 2 years from now. About 1 month ago, i found the perfect spot, 3 Awesome Safe and a vault door from an old decommissioned bank. Bought all of them!

    First to get open and restore, The scariest one, The chubb mosler taylor. Double combination + delayed time lock. Got it open in 3 hours of manipulation. This bad boy was a pain in the to get upstairs.

    Here's picture of the restoration.

    That looks a pretty good safe, what sort of rating has it got? I'm surprised it hasn't got glass over at least one of the S&G locks though, there's plenty of space for relockers above the time lock next to the top lock. You've done a neat job on it.

    I haven't found any UL tag on it. The interior was in pretty bad shape. My guess is the bank destroy the interior for removing the floor anchor. But i'm pretty sure it's a trtl30.

    I was suprised too of not finding a glass relocker. Another safe that was there is a Mgm safe. Pretty bad ass too. Got only one manipulation proof S&G combination and it has a glass relocker. This one is in pretty good shape and it have the Trtl30X6 rating.

    The other safe is an Antique Taylor. Still not open.

    Doesn't have picture of the vault door yet but it's a simple Taylor Door.

    A very good quality unit and you seem to have restored it well.

    Perhaps you want to retain it as original as possible, but if it were mine I would put a dead aed on it, and can see exactly where it would go!

    Default Chubb Canada

    Chubb Canada made a few versions of that safe. The one with glass had a over all door of @ 5 3/8" . The slab was 3" thick and than 3/4" space with 1/2" (2- 1/4" glass plate)
    Than a bed plate of 1/4" or 3/8" steel with the locks mounted . The other thing is that there is a remote relocker that stops the travel of the center bolt bar.
    enjoy Tim
