    Default Antique Safe

    I live in a suburb of Phila. and am trying to get a locksmith to perform the following:

    - since safe is closed, get it open without destroying it, and
    - install a new lock in some capacity so I can reuse

    There is nothing inside the safe as it was closed accidentally by me. The safe is a Baum from I believe the early 1900s and I want to store my handguns inside. I have called two locksmiths in the area and they keep giving me the run around.

    Does anyone know a competent locksmith who can perform the above?
    Thanks

    There is a place in Altoona Pa about 4 hours away if you decide you want to come this far I will get the info. He can open it and save the lock around 200.00 last time I asked him.

    I will try Wilson on Monday. I appreciate it, but Altoona is a little too far for them to come out and take a look.
    Thanks
