Got called out to this lovely old John Tann safe. The customer had the keys but the door wouldn't open…

Scenario: A vintage John Tann safe at a builders’ merchant wouldn’t open despite having the keys.
Method Used:
- Drilled a small 6 mm probe hole.
- Inserted an endoscope to inspect boltwork.
- Boltwork appeared to retract correctly, but the door still wouldn’t budge.
- Eventually used a forklift to gently tug the door open.
Cause of Issue: The door had sagged by ~2 mm, and a tiny scrap of paper jammed the bottom boltwork.
Outcome: Safe opened successfully with no damage and restored to working order.
