safecrackers
They breach vaults
Safecrackers are people who break into safes, typically to steal their contents.
The term applies both to professional criminals and to specialists who open safes legally—locksmiths called when combinations are lost or owners die.
Safecracking requires knowledge of locks, mechanical skill, and patience: The safecrackers worked through the night.
