Nick Haddock
Safe and vault engineer. One trade, since 1991.
I have worked as a specialist safe and vault engineer since 1991, opening, repairing and servicing safes across London, Kent, Essex and the wider South East. The job is to get a safe open without destroying it, then leave it working properly.
My customers range from banks, national retailers and estate agents to care homes and private homeowners. I have also carried out safe and vault work for law enforcement, government departments and other high-security sites, where discretion and reliability matter more than anything.
Tools you cannot buy
Over thirty years I have built up a collection of safe-opening tools, many of them custom-made or adapted by hand for locks that standard locksmith equipment cannot touch. Electronic diagnostic instruments, drill rigs, manipulation tools, picks and decoders built specifically for safe and vault work. That tooling is why difficult jobs get done cleanly rather than with an angle grinder.
You speak to me
There is no call centre and no subcontractor. When you ring or message, you reach the person who will turn up and do the work, and the price I give you is the price you pay.
