AC Locksmiths Norfolk Auto


At the time of writing this blog, I am very excited. It is just a couple of short weeks until I can finally go live with the Auto Locksmithing arm of my business: AC Locksmiths Norfolk Auto !

From August 1st 2017, I will be able to rescue you if you have lost or had your car keys stolen. I will be able to create new keys for your car, either by copying (cloning) your existing key or by reading information direct from your car’s on board computer that will allow me to use information I have from the manufacturer, to produce a key right there while you are waiting. And because I am mobile, I can come to your house or place of work to carry out the procedures so you don’t have to take time off to see your dealer or wait for your dealer to send your key off and leave you without a car for a week. All this and it will (in most cases) cost less than going direct to your dealer as well!

So if you need an auto locksmith in the East Anglia region, why not give me a call? You can go direct to my prices page to get a really good idea as to how much it will cost. I might not be the lowest price, but my prices are fair and I do not change them if you call me at night, on weekends, or even bank holidays. And at the time of writing, I still don’t have to charge VAT so the price you see or the price I quote you, is the price you pay. No other locksmith in East Anglia that I can find advertises prices on their web site. If their prices are not fixed, how can you trust you are getting a fair deal?

You can see from my testimonials page how I treat my customers. If you are not happy with the work I do, and I cannot rectify that for you, I will not charge you a penny. Just as with my commercial and domestic buildings locksmith work, I am happy to talk you through every stage of what I do and if, for example I have to do something that could potentially cause damage (when gaining entry), I will always talk to you first about the ongoing options and why certain actions are needed before going any further. Everything I supply to you comes with a full 1 year guarantee, so you have peace of mind that if goods are faulty, and have not been mistreated, they will be replaced at no extra cost to you.

Be it lost keys, broken keys, stolen keys, car keys locked inside the boot, or keys locked in the car, whether you live in Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire or Lincolnshire, don’t despair. AC Locksmiths Norfolk is just a phone call away.   07846643176



Why choose AC Locksmiths Norfolk?

There are several Locksmiths available to carry out your work in the Norfolk area, so we have done some research on the competition to find out what sets us apart. Please take a minute or two to read the following and make your own mind up.

  • We are a genuine local company, based in Norfolk meaning the money you pay remains in the local economy stimulating local business.
  • We do not sub-contract out our work.
  • We are transparent with our pricing. Our labour rates for 2013/14 are £50 regardless of time of day, weekends or bank holidays. (£70 for car entry) and there are no labour costs if the locking products exceed £100. We can find no other locksmith website in this part of the country that advertises its’ prices. We find this fact very significant as we believe in being open and honest about our pricing from the first – there are no unpleasant surprises regarding what we charge our customers.
  • We are a qualified locksmith, we hold the highest level of accreditation in the country, NCFE level 3; this means we have trained and gained the appropriate qualifications. This is of particular importance in an industry that, so far is unregulated. (Although this should hopefully be changing soon.) We know that there are not many locksmiths that can offer this high standard at the prices we charge.
  • We still offer free security checks of your house, garage, office etc. – with no obligation to buy.
  • We often give free advice over the phone.
  • We do not charge labour twice if we have to make a second visit because we did not have your product on board the first time around.
  • Our existing customers are rewarded for loyalty by having labour rates frozen against future rises, i.e. last year’s customers continue to pay last year’s labour rates.
  • We stock second hand products for customers who cannot afford new ones.
  • We agree the full cost before work commences.
  • We take pride in our work: – that’s why we get testimonials and recommendations (which go on the testimonials page.) These are all genuine, from happy, satisfied customers.
  • We do not charge VAT, and will not charge it until we have to – this alone saves 20% off your final costs.
  • We write information blogs to help you save money, or inform you how to improve your security.
  • We want to be the best and are always on the look out for ways to improve without impacting on our prices.

Older UPVC doors.

With the weather warming up, we are noticing an up turn in upvc doors that are in need of adjustment. French doors that have been shut over the winter are being opened again, and the owners are finding that the handles are stiff to operate. A relatively easy problem to fix as long as it is dealt with straight away, but expensive if the handles are forced and the mechanism breaks. At AC Locksmiths we would much rather do the adjustments than see money wasted further down the line and we charge nothing to have a look for you. We only charge if we have to do any work.

The other thing we have noticed is that many upvc doors are still of the old type that have rollers as the multi-point locking mechanism. Without going into details, these are extremely easy for burglars to gain entry through and should be upgraded to incorporate hook and shoot bolts where possible. Most people think this requires a whole new door, but in most cases, it is just a new mechanism that is required to increase your security.

While Norfolk is statistically low for reported burglaries, we have attended a fair number of cases in the North Norfolk area. For further information, please do not hesitate to get in contact via the contacts page. We do cover locks for the whole of Norfolk with particular focus on the Holt, Sheringham, Cromer, North Walsham and Fakenham towns along with the local villages.
