Chatwood Milner EDR Safe – A Classic Revisited

Nestled in the picturesque Hertfordshire countryside, I was called out to assist a customer struggling with a vintage Chatwood Milner EDR safe—circa 1966. These safes are a testament to British engineering, built to last and notoriously secure. But even the best can pose a challenge when keys wear down or mechanisms age.

Upon arrival, I assessed the situation and got to work. Within the hour, the safe was open—no damage, no fuss—and a freshly cut key was supplied to ensure smooth operation going forward. It’s always satisfying to breathe new life into a classic piece of security hardware. They really don’t make them like this anymore.
