John Tann Safe

🧰 John Tann Safe Opening by SafeBusters

  • 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.
