OT another safe question

Posted by PhilcaseinWPa on February 07, 2007 at 06:29:09 from (146.186.55.48):

The people on this board always amaze me with their wide range of knowledge. After reading Gary's posts about safes I got to thinking about an old safe I have. I think it was my great grandfather's. The safe is made of steel and concrete and is on metal casters. The outside is about a 2 foot cube but the inside is small with 3 small shelves big enough to hold 1 box of checks per shelf and a taller copartment along side that can hold some larger envelopes (8" x 11") or so. For years the safe sat and was never used because we didn't have the 'key'. It was open but you needed the key to lock it. I found the key one day and now I can use it. The key is not the usual key. It is a brass bar with 5 or 6 pins of various lengths sticking out one edge. The bar is about 1 - 1.25" and the pins are at most 3/8" long. To lock or unlock the safe you have to stick the bar into a slot in the dial and turn the dial. Clockwise unlocks it and counterclockwise locks it. Are any of you familiar with this type of lock? I would like to get a spare key made but I don't know if it has to be part brass or why if it does or who could make one. Any comments appreciated.
Phil
