my new sargent and greenleaf vault lock

[femurat]

I don't know how many of you have been so lucky to get one of these big vault locks. I made a small investment recently and got some nice stuff... Here are a few pictures of the lock body. I also have a dial that could work with this lock. I'm going to put it on a wooden stand... I'll keep you updated.

Sweet, Femurat! Currently working on getting one of these from a local guy who sells safe locks on eBay. Big footprint on the vault locks.

8 discs? An 8 combo lock?

8 discs? An 8 combo lock?

They move in pairs, so it's a 4 disk combo lock.

Nice haul. The only hard part is finding a dial and ring for them.

Cool stuff you got recently Femurat! It is bigger than normal safe locsk right?

I've been looking at these too. I have only been able to find the group 1 version used. I am looking for the 2M or group 2 version. Which version do you have there? I don't know the internals well enough to tell on these locks.

Hey guys, thanks for the comments. I already have a dial for this. I need to work a little on it but I'm sure I'll end up with a fully working lock. I have no idea if it's a group 1, 1M, 2, 2M or whatever. Yes this lock is pretty huge compared to the standard 6700 family.

Should be getting mine on Tuesday. Will post pictures of the vault lock and a safe lock side-by-side for size comparison.

I't been a bad weekend so I needed to relax. I somehow managed to play whit this lock for a few hours. Here are some pictures I took while reassembling the lock. I know I'd better clean it, but this was just to show the internals.

















Here is the back



Since nobody did that already I took some pictures with a standard 6700 for size comparison







More pictures to come...

With this lock I got its brass spline and a special dial ring, that has a different shaped brass spline. All I had to do was to file down its brass spline to fit the dial and gear of that different dial ring. I had to file down a little the pentagonal part because it was too big to fit into the dial hole. Then I had to taper it. Then I had to file a square to fit the gear. It was not difficult but I took my time since I only had a flat file and a vice, and couldn't screw up. As you can see, I did it! I'm pretty proud of myself 8)







So let's see how it should look once complete with this very big and very cool chromed dial plate

















The ring is a bit ruined, just where the index. I'll find a way to restore that. I think I can file it down a little to remove the corroded part and then cut the index again. Hints are welcome.

More pictures to come...

Now I need to find out more about the lock that prevents the gear, hence the dial, to rotate. Since it came without a key, I need to make one.





It's a lever lock







I lifted the levers manually and slide the bolt halfway to show the correct bittings the key should have



I'll use the curtain as a reference to measure each lever height. Then I'll translate them to a flat piece of steel, leaving it just a hair higher so I can finish impressioning it.



Cheers
