Hello from CA, interested in any information regarding a George Titterton safe

[wingnut948]

Hello All,

I'm happy to have found this group, as I have seen a lot of interesting posts, advice and activity since I first found out about this forum several weeks back.

We inherited a George Titterton safe a number of years back, and while we can open it and operate the handle, there was no key. The safe itself appears to be in good condition, possibly original paint, and stands about 30 in. tall by about 20 in by 20 in. width and depth (outside dimensions).

I wonder if it might be possible to remove the back of the safe door and access the lock mechanism to either replace it with a similar lock (with key) or somehow reverse engineer the key to this old safe. I'm hesitant to try removing any nuts or bolts without some guidance in the matter, since I don't want to cause more harm that good if it is not feasible to re-key this safe.

Thanks and glad to be here!
