A few weeks ago I bid on the following Cole cabinet with the massive safe in it. The Cole got zero bids until I put a $3 bid in the final hour of the online auction. I was the only bidder and after taxes and buyer's fee ended up shelling out $3.49. I knew the reasons it only had 1 bid. Info given said it was locked, no combo. It was in a shed and most likely would have mice living in drawers, etc. Went to retrieve the Cole the next day. Taped to the cabinet wall to the left of the high security safe was the combo to the safe written on a strip of old, flaking masking tape. It was the correct combo. Funny how the auction company failed to see it. To verify if it was the factory original combo I removed the bottom drawer, got the 6 digit number and used the mystery decoding numbers to figure out the combo. The combo was the same as the combo written on the tape, verifying it was the original combo. Loaded it in my truck and hauled it home. Yes, it did have mice nests and everything associated with mice in it . It was not fit for resale. I took the safe door off and sold the cabinet for scrap, making $3 for 160 pounds of sheet metal. I did sell the lock to a local guy for a smaller Cole cabinet that was missing the lock for the safe. I sold the lock for $35 which included installation. S&G 8100 series lock. The 8100 has the deadbolt, the 8110 has the springbolt.
