Safes & Vaults versus Hollywood

[wylk]

Another prop door, this time in a Hallmark series "Signed, Sealed, Delivered," episode "The Treasure Box." The door isn't too bad and seems to have been inspired by actual doors of Strauss design, see for example https://www.antique-locks.com/showth...r-made-by-York except it has 16 bolts instead of the usual 24 and the door itself seems to have no taper.

Pictures available via Google Images are a little small but illustrate the door about as well as taking photos of a TV screen. The plot is cringeworthy, it involves people being automatically locked in when the fire alarm goes off, and they think they will run out of air.

This had to cost a lot to construct and I expect we'll see this door again in some other production.
