A Safe Engineer by Trade
Safe engineering is a rare skill. Most locksmiths don't touch safes - it requires specialist training, patience, and tools that general locksmiths simply don't carry. William Bullard has over 30 years of hands-on experience opening, repairing, and installing safes of all types, from compact home fire safes to large commercial vault units.
William's approach is always non-destructive first. Using manipulation techniques and specialist tooling, he aims to open your safe without drilling or cutting - preserving the safe for continued use. When destructive entry is the only option, he's upfront about it before starting. Every job begins with a clear, written quote - no surprises, no hidden charges.
Based in Crouch End N8, William travels UK-wide by appointment for safe work. He handles all major brands including Chubb, Phoenix, Dudley, Yale, Burton, and SentrySafe. Whether you've lost a combination, inherited a locked safe, or need a new installation secured to your floor or wall, this is the specialist you want on the job.

Locksmith arrived within 10 minutes on a sunny Sunday afternoon and got us back into the flat within an hour. He tried his best to get in without replacing the lock but had to replace it in the end. Very friendly and efficient service at a very good price.

William was excellent. Came out promptly, clearly knows what he's doing. A really nice guy too! We'd called out another so called "locksmith" beforehand who turned out to be a right conman. When William turned up you immediately felt he was someone who could be trusted, and he managed to unlock the door without damaging anything. Highly recommend!

Replaced the locks in my new home, super professional and friendly, also managed to resolve an issue with my door being difficult to close due to the original locking mechanism. Thank you!
