Help with ID on a York or Remington Sherman Round Vault Door

Hi guys- think this ones for Doug and Wylk- you guys know your doors! :o: I’ve had a clear-out in my workshop and come across some offcut discs of steel and aluminium- with them I’ve found a model door I’d started years ago but unfinished. I’ve got some basic notes I’d scribbled and taped on it, but it’s just scaled dimensions to what sizes the model needed to be. Here’s the bit I’m stuck on- I can’t identify what door it was! I’ve searched the net last week but can’t find anything on it. The models at quite an early stage so it’s not really much help to ID- I’d done most of the rough turning though, so I’d like to get it finished. It’s a York or RS round door- similar to the One King West and the Cleveland Fed doors, but it seems a mixture of the two: Unlike the Cleveland Fed door with 16 locking bolts, I think it had 20 locking bolts like the King West door, but- only a single step where the locking bolts project like the Cleveland Fed, whereas the One King West has several. The Cleveland Fed door is very ‘tidy’ and modern looking with no fixing bolts around the back of the door, whereas the King West door has the bolts around the outer ring. Unsure if this one needs them or not….🙁think): The more I think back I seem to remember it may have been one of the old banks converted to a restaurant, and the couple of photos I seem to remember were very dark and unclear, but I’ve tried loads of searches and nothing shows up. Anyway it would be great if you guys do know which door it might be so I can do a more direct search- I don’t expect you to go trawling all over the net, a place name or restaurant name I can search would be great 🙁party):

The Time Lock maker on the hotel controlled vault door is York & Towne.

Would that be York, or Yale and Towne?

BBE.

It appears to be a Yale & Towne Quad-M timelock.
