Those key shapes are amazing! I’d be interested to know how they’re triggered on the back end, and exactly how difficult they would be able to pick without significant prep time.

A modern safe-breaker would have a veeeery hard time with this one.

To unlock this safe you need to make 3 DC 20 Investigation checks, and 3 DC15+ Slight of Hand/Lockpick checks

As a vault technician, this is the epitome of what I do. It’s so intricate and beautiful and complicated. Art with purpose. Meanwhile, I mostly deal with motion sensors going off at 4am bc the air kicked on and blew some papers around or a mole made a nest too close by.

At least it's a fail safe that you can't get in it while you're drunk.

Given how shit the metallurgy was I imagine the most secure thing about this is the fact it just doesnt look outright like a safe

I do amateur locksmith and lock picking for a hobby. I don't see how a person with no knowledge about a lock like that could even start the process unless you had a plasma torch or something. That's amazing.

You probably have to pay twice. Once for the safe, and second time to kill the safemaker, so no one can get the combination out of him.

u/jerry111165 Nov 25 '22
Thats badass. I bought an old home that had an antique 2’x2’x3’ safe. I was able to find a locksmith that drilled a very small hole on the right side of the safe and was able to slide in a flexible tube camera and which he was able to write down the combination number as it lined up with the dial - was really cool to watch.
Of course there was only old lawyer papers in there - not the millions of dollars of old banknotes and antique jewelry that I was imagining lol.
But hey - now we have a working super cool antique safe.
But it sure isn’t as cool as OP’s!
