Six Lever Brass Lock
Our safe engineer Will picking an old six lever brass lock in this beautiful circa 1900’s safe…
Vintage Six-Lever Brass Lock Pick & Re-Key – A Craftsmanship Triumph at Safebusters.co.uk
Our skilled safe engineer, Will, @safebusters.co.uk, recently tackled a beautiful circa 1900s safe featuring an old six-lever brass lock—a classic design renowned for robustness and pick-resistance.
🧠 Masterful Non-Destructive Picking
Lever tumbler locks use a series of levers that must each lift to a specific height to clear the bolt stump. Vintage six-lever brass models often include false notches, designed to catch and mislead anyone attempting to pick them—adding an extra layer of security and complexity.
Safebusters.co.uk applied skillful manipulation, feeling for subtle feedback as each of the six levers was set correctly. Using the right tension and pick tools, he avoided triggering the false gates—a testament to his fine touch and expertise.
Milners Double Door Safe
This old Milners double door safe, probably turn of the century…
This old Milners Double Door safe, although not exactly sure of the date of manufacture, I would date at early 1900’s due to the fact it has brass fittings. Thankfully, I didn't have to open this particular safe as it was already unlocked when we got there. The customer had lost the one and only key they had for it, so we were tasked with taking the back pan off (inside cover), removing the lock and taking it back to our workshop to change the combination of levers around so if the previous key was found it would no longer work. We then had the painstaking task of cutting a new key by hand, which took 3 hours to complete - this was not just your standard Yale key! Once the key had been cut by hand we were then able to copy a second one by machine. Armed with two new keys, we returned to site to re-fit, and voila, we now have a 100 year old lock working better then most locks, and in my opinion more secure than modern locks. A true representation of when we made things with pride rather than mass produced.
