    Default Old Treasury in Melbourne

    I visited the Old Treasury in Melbourne ( http://www.oldtreasurybuilding.org.au/ ) built around 1860 and made some photos.

    The basement has many solid rooms. The doors vary from steel mesh doors with padlocks to solid steel doors with double locks. I estimate the steel plate thickness to be a bit over halve an inch on the more solid doors. The keys to the locks do not exist anymore.

    Cheers for posting this Cepasaccus, were there any hints as to the maker of those big double locks?

    I did not see any writing on the locks. If there is something it is probably hidden by paint and rust. But I just noticed on my photos someting. Looks more like numbers though.
