Chubb safe with sliding door?

Arcade Al

Noticed this on EBay:

It’s got a sliding door, which I can’t recall seeing before? Locking details are not shown or described and it’s unclear as to how the left hand side would be accessed…

Any ideas anyone?

Unusual one Al- I wouldn’t call it a safe as such, more of a strong cabinet or secure cupboard, but it’s certainly unusual- ex-railways perhaps?

I think the left hand door simply slides to the right behind the right hand one- that explains the handle fitted over on the extreme left hand side to allow for maximum opening clearance…

Yes I thought perhaps a safe was the wrong definition - although the walls do appear quite thick there is no way that a sliding door could ever offer a level of security necessary to be defined as a safe…

I did consider that the thing on the left could be a handle, but it could equally be a bump stop for the right hand door - perhaps it’s both?
