Major CMP-101 Compact Magnum Puller for safe deposit locks

Safe Deposit Lock Nose Puller: A Look at the Major CMP-101

Safe deposit box drilling and nose pulling is specialty work. When a bank calls, you want tools that do the job cleanly the first time. The Major Manufacturing Compact Magnum Puller (CMP-101) is one of the compact options built for it.

What It Is

The CMP-101 is a safe deposit nose puller. It’s machined from bar steel for strength, with roller bearings between the mating surfaces to reduce the effort it takes, and a knurled grip for control.

It’s 5” long closed with a 1-1/8” diameter, and it comes in a nylon storage pouch. You can also find it on Major Manufacturing’s CMP-101 page.

How It’s Used (Big Picture)

The process goes like this:

  1. A sheet metal screw is driven into the center of the safe deposit lock’s keyway.
  2. Tightening the puller draws the core (nose) out.
  3. The guard key and a wire, or a similar tool, are then used to retract the bolt.

Follow the bank’s procedures and the lock manufacturer’s guidance on every box.

Not Just Safe Deposit Locks

The CMP-101 can also pull cylinders from padlocks, automotive locks and many other types of cylinders and plugs. That makes it a useful puller to have in the van even outside bank work.

Why Compact Matters

Safe deposit vaults are tight spaces, and you’re often working box after box. A compact puller that takes less effort to turn makes a long day easier on your hands.
