A combination comprising: a safe having a safe door on one side thereof, said door including a lock; a power drill having a bit; a device for adjustably supporting said power drill so that it is movable into operative association with said safe door adjacent said lock, said device comprising: a pair of vertically spaced, horizontally disposed frames; vertical body members joining said horizontally disposed frames; a vertically disposed mounting frame; a plurality of elongated rods attached to said vertically disposed mounting frame and extending outwardly therefrom and a plate attached to the outer ends of said elongated rods; said elongated rods and said vertically disposed mounting frame and plate forming an elongated support movable horizontally and vertically relative to said horizontally disposed frames and said safe door lock; means for adjustably positioning said power drill including a horizontally disposed rod in each of said horizontally disposed frames; a pair of secondary vertical body members and means on their upper and lower ends respectively slidably engaging said horizontally disposed rods; a carriage arranged to receive and hold said power drill, said carriage movably engaging said elongated support; and means on said elongated support for moving said carriage relative thereto; and means for temporarily clamping said horizontally disposed frames to said safe so that one of said frames is above said lock and the other is below said lock.

Claim 12

A combination as recited in claim 9 wherein said means for clamping comprise: a clamping bar clamped to the sides of said safe and extending horizontally across said safe door and above said lock; a pair of fittings attached to the upper of said horizontally disposed frames, each fitting having a vertically extending slot therein, and a vertical end wall, said slots receiving said clamping bar while said end walls engage said door.

Claim 13

A combination as recited in claim 10 wherein said means for clamping further comprise a pair of fittings attached to the bottom of the said horizontally disposed frames, each fitting having a vertical end wall which engages said door below said lock.

Claim 14

A combination as recited in claim 11 further comprising a chain fixed to said device between said horizontally disposed frames, and wrapped around said safe, said chain attached to said device by a turnbuckle.

Claim 15

A combination as recited in claim 9 further comprising a chain fixed to said device between said horizontally disposed frames, and wrapped around said safe, said chain attached to said device by a turnbuckle.

Claim 16

A combination as recited in claim 9 wherein said means for clamping comprise: a pair of mounting brackets attached to said safe door on opposite sides of said lock, and attached to said safe door by screws; and a chain and turnbuckle operatively connected between each of said brackets and said device.

Claim 17

A combination as recited in claim 14 further comprising a pair of fittings attached to the upper of said horizontally disposed frames, each fitting having a vertical end wall which engages said door while said chains connect said brackets to said device.

Claim 18

A combination as recited in claim 9 further comprising a removable alignment guide removably mounted on said elongated support in place of said carriage, said alignment guide including a guide pin, said pin establishing a position on said safe door adjacent said lock that the bit of said power drill will engage.

Claim 21

A method as recited in claim 17 wherein step (b) is practiced by providing an alignment guide comparatively associated with the frames and having an alignment pin associated therewith, and adjusting the horizontal and vertical positions of the alignment guide so that the pin engages the door at a predetermined desired place; removing the alignment guide and positioning the power drill in the location determined by the alignment guide, so that the bit of the drill engages the safe door at the exact position determined by the alignment pin.

Claim 22

A method as recited in claim 17 wherein step (a) is practiced by clamping a horizontally extending clamping bar to the sides of the safe so that the clamping bar extends horizontally across the safe door and above the lock; sliding the upper of the horizontal frames into engagement with the clamping bar and the safe door; and engaging the bottom of the horizontally disposed frame with the safe door.

Claim 23

A method as recited in claim 17 wherein step (a) is practiced by attaching a pair of brackets to the safe door with screws, on opposite sides of the lock; operatively attaching the frames to the brackets by chains; and then tightening the tension on the chains so that the horizontal frames are held thereby in engagement with the safe door.
