There were dozens, perhaps hundreds, of safe and vault manufacturer's in the United States from the early 1800's to the mid-20th century. Over the decades many were bought out by larger companies or just went out of business.
Early safes were generally key operated safes with combination locks becoming more common in the mid-19th century.
There were dozens, perhaps hundreds, of safe and vault manufacturer's in the United States from the early 1800's to the mid-20th century. Over the decades many were bought out by larger companies or just went out of business.
Early safes were generally key operated safes with combination locks becoming more common in the mid-19th century. At that time many of the combination locks were manufactured by lock companies such as Yale, Sargent (later called Sargent & Greenleaf), Eagle, Pillard's, and others, instead of the safe manufacturer.
As safe sales increased in the mid-1800's due to many catastrophic fires some safe manufacturers began to produce their own locks to save on production costs.
Many safe lock parts manufactured in the 19th century were hand-made and/or had hand fitted parts therefore parts from one lock may or may not exactly fit another lock of the same model.
Some re-fitting of the part(s) such as by slightly filing or grinding of various lock parts may be required due to lock bodies being made of cast iron, brass, and bronze.

We stock antique safe dials, dial rings, complete locks, as well as lock parts. Whether your "wheel pack" or "lock bolt" is missing and you wish to re-use your antique safe we may be able to help with replacement parts for your antique safe.
Since we receive many inquires by email and phone about antique safes most times it requires good quality clear pics of the safe and any lock parts that remain with the safe in order to help you without spending excessive time which increases parts costs.
Pics should include a full frontal view of the safe, and close-ups of the dial and handle, the hinges, wheel casters, and any painted names or other information on the safe.
Pics should be emailed to: dlabarge@nycap.rr.com
Also, in your email include a general description of the parts you're requesting so we check for availability. Common safe lock and parts pics and descriptions will be added below.
Please do not email manufacture's catalog pages or parts catalog numbers when searching for safe parts. Generally they're not a good informational source since parts designs can change over time. Good quality pics, even if the part you have is broken, are the easiest and fastest way to locate the part or parts you need if we have them.
Although emails are generally answered in a timely manner there are certain times during the year where a response may take several days, a week, or more due to workload, time of year, conventions, vacations, etc.
