Safe Refurbishment

Professional Safe Refurbishment & Restoration Australia-Wide

Is your safe looking weathered, outdated, or showing signs of a previous break-in attempt? A high-quality safe is built to last a lifetime, but the exterior and mechanical components often need a professional "second life."

At Aus Lock and Safe Co., we specialize in the complete refurbishment of commercial, domestic, and antique safes. Operating from our state-of-the-art facility in Laverton North, Melbourne.

Give Your Safe a Second Life

Refurbishment is a sustainable and cost-effective way to maintain high-level security without the price tag of a brand-new unit. Our restoration process transforms worn equipment into high-performance security assets.

Our Refurbishment Services Include:

  • Professional Spray Painting: We use high-durability industrial coatings to match your office decor or restore a safe to its original factory finish.
  • Sandblasting & Rust Removal: Stripping back decades of wear to reveal the structural integrity of the steel.
  • Mechanical Overhauls: Deep cleaning and recalibrating internal boltwork and hinges.
  • Lock Upgrades: Replacing old-fashioned dial combinations with modern, high-security digital or biometric locks.
  • Internal Re-lining: Restoring felt linings and shelving for a premium interior finish.

Marshal you’re the best!! Got our new face recognition door bell working in 5mins (after me trying for hours, googling videos and ChatGTP, user issue!) Thanks so much again!

– Carla Viskovich

The product is robust and reliable. Not a cheap that easy to be broken. The installation service is reliable and thrust worthy. Have been used in our public places with many frequent access for 3 years and never had problem. The sales person taken care of phone can suggest best products for the place.

Dealing with both Jason and Jim has been an incredibly positive experience from the very beginning. Their communication and level of customer service has been way above our expectations! Would definitely recommend them to anyone...

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does safe refurbishment cost in Melbourne?

The cost depends on the size of the safe and the level of restoration required (e.g., just painting vs. a full mechanical overhaul). At Aus Lock and Safe Co., we aim to get you the best value in Australia for professional restoration.

Can you upgrade an old safe to a digital lock during refurbishment?


Yes! This is one of our most popular services. We can replace old key or combination locks with modern S&G or La Gard digital keypads, making your restored safe much easier to use.

Does refurbishing a safe affect its fire rating?

When performed by experts like us, no. We use specialized materials and techniques to ensure that the heat-resistant barriers and fire seals remain intact, preserving the safe's original protective ratings.

Where can I drop off my safe for painting in Melbourne?


You can bring your safe to our warehouse in Laverton North. Please contact us in advance so we can prepare our heavy-lifting equipment for your arrival.
