    Default Trying to find more information on York Fire Safe

    Just joined this forum, wish I would have known about this place when I was collecting cannonball safes. Recently acquired a York fire safe, assume it was a document safe. Don’t have much information on it and would like to learn more. Only York safes I’ve seen are older models. Planning on restoring for my needs to put in the den. I was given the combination but not sure on the sequence to open. Any help appreciated.

    Your safe is a Diebold built after Diebold bought out York. Dialing sequence would be 4L-3R-2L-1R to stop.

    Thanks, kind of figured that. I opened up the safe last night to eye the rotation sequence. Definitely a Diebold Markes lock with relocker. Any idea on the age? 60’s? If it wasn’t a give away probably wouldn’t have picked it up, also definitely bigger than represented.
