Hi All, and great to be a part of the forum. I have a Chubb safe and i am trying to: identify the model and year of manufacture Location of manufacture. The original colour codes for colour matching Weight - i intend to have a plate made up with all the spec’s lock type - I have removed the locking mechanism to take it to a locksmith to get a key I don’t believe the door can be removed - if it can i would like to know how what are the numbers on the locking rods -= what do they mean? Thank you all. Cheers

According to one of the Australian sites, the Commerce line of safes being imported and sold in Australia and New Zealand were being made by Edwin Cotterill and fitted with Chubb locks.

1910 / 1920 vintage commerce models. Not the ones shown.

One of the Aussie or NZ fellas showed a patent for John tann by inventor ugo Bernard that mentions a glass protection plate in 1964/65
Earliest Chubb one I can think of is TDR safe late 60’s

Thanks for that Gary. Don’t think I’ve seen that Patent so will have to check my papers next week when I’m back in my bolt hole.

Ugo Bernard was Tann’s Sales Director right up until they were taken over by the Runciman (Stratford) Group in 1966.

It more or less fits in with the Stratford Treasury and their 450 AA Strongroom door which also had the glass.

Getting back to Whitepointer’s safe in question the key lock (6K75) was a standard or combination (Australian ID 7L44) at an additional cost. If you want to get a glass and parts I suggest you give Ken at CMI safes in Sydney a call. A final warning the hinge pin is prone to breaking if not lubricated. From memory the hinge pin are welded in place top and bottom to stop them falling out
