About Nick Haddock - Safe & Vault Engineer

ABOUT image

I have worked as a specialist safe and vault engineer since 1991, providing professional safe opening, repairs & servicing across London, Kent and the wider South East. My work focuses on quality, non-destructive entry wherever possible, using advanced techniques learned over more than 30 years of experience.
Clients include a wide range of commercial and domestic customers, including banks, national retailers, estate agents, care facilities and private homeowners. I have also carried out specialist safe and vault work for law enforcement organisations, government departments and other high-security environments, where discretion and reliability are essential.
I have a large collection of specialist safe-opening tools, many of which are custom-made or personally adapted to handle complex locks and mechanisms that standard locksmith equipment cannot manage. This includes electronic precision instrumentation, drill rigs, custom manipulation tools, picks, decoders, and diagnostic equipment built specifically for safe and vault work. This tooling has been refined over decades and enables me to perform difficult or sensitive jobs efficiently and with minimal disruption.
I work on all types of safes and vault systems, including mechanical key locks, digital keypads, combination locks, insurance-rated safes, fire safes, gun safes, underfloor safes and modern commercial units. Every job is handled personally by me — no call centres and no sub-contractors. When you get in touch, you speak directly to the engineer.

Safe Opening, Repair, Servicing & Lock Upgrades – London & Kent

SAFE OPENING

All types of safes opened, whatever the nature of the fault. Lost or missing keys, forgotten combinations, failed digital keypads or mechanical lock faults — I provide fast, non-destructive safe opening wherever possible.

SAFE SERVICING

Regular servicing is essential to prevent costly lockouts and mechanical failures. I carry out full maintenance on domestic and commercial safes to ensure smooth, reliable operation and long-term security.

VAULT ENGINEERING

Maintenance, repair and opening of vault doors and strongroom entry systems for commercial, industrial, financial, law enforcement and other secure environments.

SAFE & VAULT REPAIRS

Minor lock or boltwork issues can quickly develop into major faults if left unattended. I repair safe locks, boltwork systems, hinges and relocking mechanisms, ensuring your safe or vault is restored to reliable working order.

LOCK UPGRADES

Upgrading old or unreliable locks is part of my day-to-day work. I install modern digital locks, variable key systems and combination locks to improve convenience, security and compliance with insurance and audit requirements.

SAFE KEY CUTTING

Using professional-grade key cutting equipment and specialist safe-lock tooling, I produce high-accuracy replacement keys for a wide range of safe locks. I also rekey and reset safe locks when security has been compromised or keys are missing, restoring full integrity to the locking system.
