Haha! Don't worry I'll definitely post back.
Yes, I too was thinking a soakaway was the most likely. Seems strange that it would have a key hole for that though. At least I think it has a key hole, but it's all so rusted up that it's hard to tell.
I'm going to try to soak it in WD40 tonight. If that doesn't work then I'll drill it and crowbar it open.0 -
As its got a key hole I'm guessing it's a floor safeI'm only here while I wait for Corrie to start.
You get no BS from me & if I think you are wrong I WILL tell you.0 -

I think that keyhole is for inserting a tool to lift the hatch."You were only supposed to blow the bl**dy doors off!!"0

It might be worth buying something like this:

If you can get one to fit in the "keyhole" then put a long piece of scaffolding tube or something similar through the handle, you may get enough leverage to lift the cover after it's had a good soak with WD40.0 -
Posting so I can follow this. It looks quite small, what size is it?0

Full of golden coins! Bound to be!
Either way, there's absolutely no way I would ever be satisfied with no knowing!!0 -
Or a dead body lying underneath in which case you all get moved out due to the Police taking over your house for months on end.0
