Special Deals

Due to rising costs, from the beginning of the 2013/14 financial year our labour rates will be increasing from £45 to £50 per hour, or uncompleted part thereof. However we are going to re-structure our pricing to ensure our customers still receive the best we can offer, and still be much cheaper than the national companies who advertise locally.


Firstly, for any customer who requires locks that come to more than £100, either individually, or jointly, then we will not charge labour. In most cases, this would require more than three locks of most standard types, but we will also allow customers to team up and have work done jointly. For example, two neighbours may each have a front and back UPVC door that need locks replacing. Normally, this would require each individual paying around £140, (still £50 less than a standard national company) but by combining their needs, they each save around £50. This will apply for all types of lock, and the individuals will only be charged for the locks they have, so where one might have a more expensive lock, the other will not be charged accordingly i.e. you will only pay for the locks we fit to your property. Families can be involved as well, and we will consider all cases that are sensible (for example if we have to cross the county to work on the second property, we would expect costs to cover fuel and time).


Home security is very important and at AC Locksmiths we are very keen to help Norfolk residents and businesses be as secure as possible at an affordable price. We also encourage the sense of community that can drive down daily living costs. That is why we still do free security checks, we still attempt repair rather than replacement where possible and we carry a small selection of second hand products for those who might find money extremely tight, with the option to upgrade to a new lock later when just the difference in price will be charged.


We are also open to reasonable suggestions that would improve our business in a way that would satisfy our customers. Please visit our Contacts page for all enquiries and please read our 100% genuine testimonials. You can also join us on Twitter and Facebook for latest updates.

Burglaries Advice

Last night I had the sad case of having to replace a lock after someone had been burgled. The victim in question admitted having the door locked but with the keys in the lock and in plain view as the door glass was not even frosted. The person also told me they had that “It would never happen to me,” attitude. The fact is, most burglars look for properties where the owners have this train of thought. If you try and think like an invader when you look at your home security and practices, you will be more likely to do the things that prevent the real crooks looking upon your home as an easy target, which will in turn make them move on.

With this particular case, the intruder wanted to be in and out as fast as possible. Otherwise they would have gotten away with a lot more. The fact that only the stuff on show was taken (apparently they missed easy money in draws) proves this. So just making things harder and longer to do will protect you more. I am not saying that if you spend thousands turning your home into Fort Knox you stand no chance of being targeted, but the harder you make it for them, the less chance you have of becoming a victim. AC Locksmiths Norfolk offers a free home security assessment with no obligation to have our recommendations taken up.
