Looking to swap out the Handle hardware on the front of my safe.
The standard 3 prong handle on my Champion safe This: 
And the prongs just sit a little too far out. I still have some mods to do in the close to have everything fit 100%, but with test fits, I'm afraid they will contact the closet doors, even with the mods, after everything is in place. I'm looking for something basic like these Sentry Safe handles : 
The Sentry just looks tighter to the body of the safe. Anyone have any suggestions vs contacting the manufactures directly? |

They make generic safe handles that are sold through most locksmith suppliers. Many of those spoked handle hubs slide onto a spindle and are set in place with a set screw. Some are more permanent (like the Liberty safes). If yours has a set screw, you would need to pull it off and measure the spindle diameter. You could then purchase a handle that would fit.
Make sure you are doing this with the door open and locked in order to prevent a lock out. |

So I'll be heading to home depot tomorrow to find the right one. I have been learning that no matter what I do, always do it with the door open and locked. I will start calling some lock smiths and see who's parts I can get. |

Find a Liberty Platinum dealer and ask them to order you the handle for a Centurion 20 Black Texture, or on eof the Chinese built Liberty home safes. Might as well ask them to order you a shaft as well. Shouldn't cost more than $50-$75 with freight. Have them tell the factory to ups it directly to you. If you have a problem doing it, pm me.
You can also check with Jessie Crosby at Safe City in AZ. Tell him one of the Summit group members sent you. |
