It's a perfect size for a domestic safe.
All interesting stuff posted by the others, but have you tried
contacting the makers with proof of ownership?

They may have records permitting them to make a new key, and a record of
the combination it left the factory with.

Thanks John

Google is strangely unhelpful in identifying a manufacturer. *I found
a few 'opening services'.

As for buying a cheap, but working safe; one of life's pleasures is
bringing cast-off stuff back into use.

Leabank are a supplier of office furniture based in Stockport, and list
own brand safes on their website:-

I've not searched the site in detail, but entering "safe" in their
search button shows a few matches.

Yes, I encountered these people.

I've also had a call this morning from a safe opening firm. They
explained that Leabank safes are no longer manufactured. They can
open the safe but it would be unusable after doing so - I'd need a new
lock afterwards and they wouldn't be able to open the combination
without the original key. However the cost of doing so would be more
than the price of a new, reasonable, domestic safe. They suggested
slicing it open just for curiosities sake!
