Help required with John Tann safe

[Phil123]

Hello, Im new on here and after a bit of help and advice on a John Tann list 2A safe I just aquired. The main issue is I dont have a key, but luckily the safe is unlocked and the door opens. I am about to collect it and bring it home, so I have the following questions.
Is there any possibility that the safe could lock itself during the move? It will have its door shut and would be the worst outcome
How do I get another key for it? And who can do this?
If I have to remove the lock, how do I pull the door apart to get the lock out?
Can anyone let me know the build date of the safe, the serial number is 21201?
Thanks in advance

Hi again, I got the safe apart and the lock out and in no problems, thanks for the advice. Ive given it a coat of paint and noticed three holes in the door where a name plate would have been fixed. Can you tell me what type of plate would have been fitted and where I could find one? Also there is numbers stamped on the top edge of the door " 10.0.21." Whats these numbers for?

Thanks in advance

The figure on the top of the door is probably the weight. I know Chubb used to do exactly that, so perhaps some Tanns had it too.

10 Cwt = 1,120 pounds

0 Qtrs = 0

21 = 21 pounds.

Would be 1,141 pounds. Half a ton!

It looks better for a coat of paint. I hope you got all the locks working OK.

There are some old Tann plates currently on Ebay UK and one in partiular bears the correct address for your date. The reference number is 35212273152.
These plates come in two sizes but from the pictures I can't be sure if they are large or small. Your safe will probably be the small size but you will have to be the judge from the screw holes.
