Very interesting. A TL-15 is an excellent container, but I'm not familiar with a 5 wheel combination lock in commercial service in the US. I have a S&G vault lock which has 4 wheels. I don't doubt 5 wheel locks exist though, especially if the safe was possibly installed for a US Senator. Would definitely be interesting to see some photos of the lock (both outside and inside) if you still have any.

Here is a picture of the inside: https://ibb.co/sF8RLDv I can't seem to locate a picture of the outside.

The politician owner was not a "US senator" but a "state senator", IOW not a member of the US Senate but of the state senate. So not as prestigious as you think :)

wowzers, I guess that's my fault for not searching for images of the safe you were talking about but when I heard "in home safe" I imagined those things like a gun safe but they weren't kidding around!

I actually would guess that replacing the damaged door would put that back in operation and would make for a cool perk for selling the house, but with that much steel(?) I can't imagine how much such a stunt would cost
