It has a great metal color with patina of time and amazing solid cast iron frontal decors. The great lock and opening mechanism works with 3 beautiful keys, one with a magnificently shaped hollow shafts plus a special hook. This tricky mechanism and combination starts with finding the releases hidden behind some decors to expose the key holes and then a secret sequence with levers and movements to follow with the keys that allows to unlock the safe and open the door. The presence of more keys is typical and the reason is due to different persons holding them, so that only the presence of all together could allow the opening. On request, the interior of the safe can be completely customized either with watch winders, as a cigar humidor cabinet or liquor dry bar lined in leather with LED lighting and a custom base to fit your home decor style can be ordered as well.
