There's a section in "Surely you're joking, Mr. Feynman" about the Los Alamos library. Feynman was into safecracking as a hobby, but didn't get anywhere on the library's vault.

Presumably that's the same one that's described in the article as "an “ancient” safe that functioned so poorly, it opened only if Serber kicked it at a particular point while typing in the lock combination."
That's also sourced back to a book about the Manhattan Project: https://books.google.com.au/books?id=Ys0N4rFgt6UC&pg=PA160&l...
