Safe Restoration

At well-respected safe restoration company Safe and Vault Shop, we are able to restore an old, damaged, or worn safe back to its full glory. Our technicians are well trained in repairing safes of all kinds, which means that you can trust us with your biggest and most valuable items. You don’t have to take our word for it – several clients testify to this on our testimonials page. We provide free estimates so you can have peace of mind knowing exactly what the costs will be before the service begins.

Once your old or broken safe / bank vaults are in our care, here’s how safe restorations work progresses:

Step 1

The first step is the disassembly of the safe door by removing hinges and any other securing hardware. We will also need to remove electronic or combination locks on the door depending on damage severity. 

Step 2

After removing the vault doors, we clean and prepare any rusted areas and apply rust inhibitor (unless you request that this step not be completed).

Step 3

The structural steel of your safe is mended by welding, filing down dents, and straightening warped walls, so they are flush with other surfaces. Where available, we can use an auto body filler to patch holes in the safes structure at this point too. 

Step 4

Safe vault repair is a complicated process, but our team is more than equipped to handle any job. If there’s a damaged area of concrete that makes up part of your safe’s insulation layer, we’ll need to remove that area and replace it with new concrete after making repairs using #2 and #3 above. We’ll also need to re-enforce the floor where your safe is located.

Step 5

After all the repairs are completed, we apply a sealant and paint of your choice (the color you chose when you bought the safe). We can do a refurbishment where we maintain the safes original color, or we can do a full-color change to something that better fits your current aesthetic.

Step 6

The next step is to reassemble any hardware or locks removed in step 1 above. We make sure they fit properly and securely before we call our work done. Accessories like keypads, shelving, and lights are installed at this time too.

Step 7

To make sure your restored safe will meet the high demands imposed by insurance companies, we perform several tests such as filling it with water or adjusting locking mechanisms to be sure they operate smoothly and seamlessly.

Step 8

Finally, we vacuum out the safe and leave it in a clean, tidy state free from any paint or rust particles.

This is how we restore safes here at Safe and Vault Shop – as you can see, there’s quite a bit of work involved! However, safe and vaults differ based on size and model so the restoration process can vary. Vault restorations in Toronto can be a daunting task, but with the help of our skilled technicians, you will have your valuables protected in no time.
