I’m not sure if this is the right place to post this. I have a question for all you creative types.
I just was given this from a friend that is renovating a New York Life office and I have all the instructions and all the combinations for all the doors. It’s pretty cool, the instructions tell me how to change the combinations if I wanted to. I know there are several people making banks out of individual doors, but I was thinking of trying to use the entire thing, maybe a side table/cabinet.
The locks are made so when you get the combination right and open the door, the dials move and if you shut the door it locks so you have to use the combo again. I’m sure I can defeat that, however until I figure out what the best thing to use this for I can’t get started.
It is housed in a nasty formica wrapped box. I hope someone might have an idea of what could be made.
Wow! What an awesome acquisition! Yeah, I think a lot of people would break it apart and make a bunch of little banks with it. I’d probably do something stupid like use it to hold nuts and screws in my shop. It’s really just a conversation piece in my mind, and I don’t have any good ideas for you with it, but I think it’s awesome! Congratulations!

I see a spice rack, on a lazy susan bearing for ez access. Make an attractive outside box, maybe some line and berry inlay. All the locks are the show side, spin it around to get the spices.

i dont know maybe incorporate it into and end table ? i made several banks as gifts a couple years ago so id probably just separate em. more bang for the buck.
