Moving safes and a bonus find

[Gary Stephenson]

A Stratford Concord and a Chubb standard TDR as well as the double door Chubb London?

Always enjoy seeing what others have hidden away in sheds and out buildings, Youve got some good 'uns there Gary, the double door Chubb really does look heck of a weight, thick old doors and body on something that size.
Used to see loads of those Concords and the similar Ratner version (Trustee i think) in the smaller building societies branches, good solid safes with glass and have to admit I quite liked them.

PS good news you found all the Chatwood parts and Chubb stuff, but it might be bad news for some seeing that name on the van!

I missed the Milner's, was it the list 3s with the interlocking dovetails around the door/body and the big hexagon bolts alternated down the boltcase? Going back we used to see them for the old butchers chain Dewhursts, they had an area office here and storage depot. Every shop always had one set in the wall, can't ever remember seeing anything else used but milner.
Trip down memory lane, still have the big chrome socket and torque bar for doing those bolts and it's an odd size so it's never been any use for anything else.

Hiya Doug, the slope was a bit off camber and onto soft verges where if I had lost control of the descent I would have been in trouble, so the way I did it was the most controlled way with the kit I had.

Going downhill is easy. Just put a couple stout skis under the safe and push it with the van. Although you may not want pictures of it on the net.

Wasn't pulling the safe uphill, just rolling it downhill in a nice controlled way so it didn't get away from me.
Don't think the Chubb London is the model, just what I would call it.
I will put the Milner back in service Huw, but it won't be a full restoration
