Restoring Old Phillips & Sons safe

[Ciaran]

Hi Everyone

I am Looking for some information in relation to restoring an old safe which is not in a good state of repair.

On of the main problems is the lock appears to be seized so when we have unscrewed the bolts on the back of the door to access the it will not come off as it appears the handle is preventing this, has anyone any info on this type of hobby project as this is the first that I have tried. I have attached photos to show safe.

Any further info needed please ask as any help be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Ciaran
