Bi-Monthly Trade Magazine

Safe & Vault Technology magazine is the only trade publication devoted entirely to the needs of today's safe and vault technician. Where locksmith publications only touch on the safe and vault business, this magazine’s sole purpose is to provide technical and industry information to help members succeed.

Safe & Vault Technology features the most authoritative technical information available on safes, vaults, bank equipment, industrial security applications and the products used to work on them. Your issue will keep you constantly informed on important developments that affect your business. The magazine can be downloaded right from the website, and you can search through past issues with ease.

Additionally, technical articles and Tech Bulletins with specifications on safes and safe locks are available in the SAVTA Tech Link web app. Get essential technical information fast on your mobile device while you’re on jobs — when timing is essential.

Technical Bulletins

Build your own comprehensive technical library with SAVTA’s technical bulletins. Each bulletin is an invaluable, detailed guide to everything you need to know about servicing the most common containers, and even some of the not-so-common ones.

Each technical bulletin is devoted to a particular container or lock and includes detailed photographs, precise lock and/or container information. Some bulletins are devoted to information on serial numbers or lock specifications.

Technical Hotline Call-In Service

Get access to SAVTA’s technical hotline, where you can get your technical questions answered quickly. Whether you’re looking for information on locks, safe models, drill points, manufacturers, techniques and more, SAVTA’s experts can give you the information you need.

SAFETECH Convention and Trade Show

SAFETECH is the safe and vault industry's one and only conference and trade show. Held annually, this industry event brings safe and vault technicians together from around the world for in-depth training, networking and a chance to see the latest in products and technology.

SAVTA members receive discounted registration on all SAFETECH Convention education packages, plus get free admission to the trade show portion. SAVTA members also receive discounted registration to the ALOA Convention & Security Expo, where members can take additional classes on safe and vault topics — and beyond.

SAVTA also occasionally hosts other classes and events for members only, such as the safe opening party held in February 2026. To inquire about future events, contact [email protected].
