    Default Who built this Vault Door? (circa 1910) National Safe & Lock Co???

    Reaching out to find the manufacture of a vault door we're working on before we Pin-stripe it. Normally we find the builder during dismantling, or by the lines of the door/hardware, etc., but we were unable to do so on this one.
    We believe it's a National Safe & Lock Co door. However we haven't seen a vault door made by them, only safes. The reason we think its a National door is we found company Timecards between the door slab and the hinge which were used as shims with National Safe & Lock Co. on them... Great find and neat to see the actual craftsmen's names who worked on the door, but we want to be sure.

    Lockset- Yale (National Lock & Safe on the bezel)
    Printed name on frame- Customer vault (doesn't mean a-lot, but thought I'd include the info.)

    Attached are some before and afters with various details to help, if someone needs to see a specific detail not shown we can post additional pictures as needed.

    If anyone recognizes the door, lets us know. Thank you.
