Help with York Safe & Co safe.

Hi, I am new to the site and am trying to look for information on the safe that was left here at our house by the previous owner. It is a York Safe and it is fairly large and heavy as I believe they all are. The front door was left open with the pins extended so it can’t close all the way. I have no idea what the combination is. It also has a second inner door which looks like it has a key hole for a regular sized key like a house door key maybe. I have pics and will attach them to the post. It has some nice decoration to it. There is some paint missing as well as some rust but I think it would clean up really nice. Would love to get it open all the way and figure out what the combination is so it could be used.

Unless you have an ancient house, or there are structural problems, I can’t see an average size safe being an unsafe static load at the edge or corner of a room.

Great job picking that lock. I have a York safe, twice the size of yours. My outer door is open too, but locked inner door. I don’t want to ruin the value by breaking the lock. How did you pick yours?

I had a chance to mess with picking the lock tonight. I got lucky and had it open in about 25 minutes. Sadly there was nothing left behind other than a sticky note. Which was addressed to the previous owner of the house and with it being a sticky note means he was in it up to the 1990’s.

I am going to take all the locks to the locksmith and have keys made to fit them. Should be a good bit cheaper that way.

Here are some pics of the inside of the safe:

I am new to the site and can’t figure out how to post a new thread. But I have a question about a York safe and Co safe as well. I have one that is prob 2 ft tall and 4 ½ ft by 2 ft. It’s extremely heavy snd on good shape. Does anyone have an educated guess on a value or an idea of where I could sell it nyc?
Thx!
