Riannon Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I bought a derelict house a couple of years ago and I'm slowly knocking it into shape. In an outbuilding I came across a safe made by Frederick Baxter Birmingham. Its about 70cms tall and weighs a ton. It clanks when you roll it so probably has stuff inside. Unfortunately it's locked and I have no key. Does anyone know someone who can open it or can supply Sentex. I'm out beyond Bakewell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Shaw Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Not Semtex, no! Try a reputable supplier of safes (who'll want to ensure that you're not an inventive thief!)

ronthenekred Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 It's probably the inside draw that's clanking. I had Harrolds and sons open one for me about 10 yrs ago, cost me about £140 then but the contents were in excess of 3k so no complaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha..that's gotta be one of the strangest requests I've ever seen on here! Anyway. I found this on gumtree. It's someone who's selling a safe, but with no key. He says he can get one made for about £7. You could always ask him how and where? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ooisit Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 If it's a really old safe you can chop the back off with a hammer and bolster chisel but if it is a more modern one with rounded edges you can't. I chopped the back off an old one that was left in some premisses we took over about 15 years ago it took me an hour to get in it only to find it empty............

vResistance Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 There's this bloke http://www.thestar.co.uk/news/safecracker-sheffield-s-albert-hattersely-had-a-blast-as-britain-s-most-wanted-man-video-1-4730532 Quote "NINETY-year-old Albert Hattersley might look like your average grey-haired granddad - but he’s far from a picture of innocence. For a time he was Britain’s most wanted man. Albert, born in Chapeltown and now living in High Green, led a double life as a coal miner by day and safecracker by night. He learned his infamous trade using explosives from the pit face to blow up safes he dragged from bomb sites during the Sheffield blitz."
