Car Locksmith In Norwich

A car locksmith in Norwich with over ten years experience and knowledge in dealing with vehicles. I originally moved out to the United States of America to improve my combination safe opening skills, which of course I did but I found I had a lot of interest in the American cars. The natural progression was to become involved with car locksmith work. I knew I woulod be returning to the United Kingdom at some stage and decided that I would become the best car locksmith in Norwich when I returned. I didn't realise at the beggining how very different it was from regular locksmith work. The learning curve was steep but luckily I had two good teachers to show me the ropes. Transponder keys were in there early days then, a transponder is teh communication via a chip in the car key that communicates with the engine control unit and activates or deactivates the immobiliser system on the car. So a lot of the work I started doing was regular car keys. The customer would have lost their car key and need a new key made, we relied heavily on our key impressioning skills to make a new key to the car, this involved blading of the key blank and then using a round or pippin file to file the cut into the key blank. We were probably the best car locksmiths at doing this. Even now I as a car locksmith in Norwich I still use this technique even though you can retrieve key codes from the dealer data base and cut a key on our fancy machine directly from the codes, but this doesn't always work, for instance if the car has had its locks changed the dealer codes will not work, this would stump many of the car locksmith in Norwich. But rest assured with my key blank, file and grips I will forge you a new key that operates in the lock.

Transponder Key Car Locksmith In Norwich

Since practising as a car locksmith in Norwich the prevolence of transponder keys in modern vehicles has grown so much that it is difficult to find a modern vehicle without a transponder chip inside the key. As the preffered car locksmith in Norwich for many used car dealerships we had to move with the times and purchase some kind of programming device. There are four choices which all have different pros anc cons. The first choice is what we call a cloning machine, relativeley cheap to purchase and very effective on a lot of the older cars but unable to program many of the more recent vehicles. Most car locksmith in Norwich have one of these due to the low cost but they are very limited as to the cars they can be used on. The second choice is a token machine. This is a plug in and pay type machine and can program a wide variety of vehicles. Fast and low skill levels required by the operator. The programmer is really cheap to buy but the manufactures claw there money back by selling tokens which are very expensive for each programming procedure. This cost will be passed on to the customer at some stage. The third choice is a programmer similar to the token style machine but you purchase the software for the different manufactures individually. Large initial upfront cost, but works out more cost effective in the long run. The fourth choice is laptop based diagnostic software, this is for the serious car locksmith in Norwich, a large initial outlay but a large range of vehicles can be programmed. At Norwich Auto Locksmith we have the cloning machine and the laptop based diagnostic programmer. So you see we are the car locksmith in Norwich to call, for great value duplicate car keys. If you need a car locksmith in Norwich call the experts.

Locksmith in Norwich and Lock Snapping

If you have a UPVC door you must read this article.

If you have a UPVC door or a composite door, the type fitted to new build houses, you may be vulnerable to this type of attack. The cylinder is attacked (snapped) at a weak point and then the locking mechanism is exposed and easily defeated using a screw driver. The whole process can take as little as 20 seconds. Lock snapping two years ago was unheard of but in Bradford this technique is becoming more and more prevalent and in December of last year 27% of all burglaries across West Yorkshire involved Lock snapping. This technique is so simple, easy to learn and with this information being shared on YouTube it is leaving home owners with UPVC or composite doors exposed to having their properties burgled and possessions taken.

The Locksmith Norwich

Locksmith Norwich are often found driving from job to job, not all of the locksmith Norwich jobs are quick. Sometimes if a job is problematic or the locksmith Norwich does not have a direct replacement for the lock he needs to change, there may be a lot more work involved therefore taking longer to complete the job.

Normally the locksmith Norwich would take fifteen minutes replacing the gearbox and tidying up after himself but in this case as happened to me about a week ago it had a forty millimetere backset and had been discontinued. In this instance this locksmith Norwich installed an overnight lock which is a cut down version of the full lock which would stay on the door until the replacement lock turns up. Although the locksmith Norwich couldn't get a direct replacement the manufacture still produced a replacement unit which meant a slight adjustment to the door frame so locksmith Norwich can get the lock working with all of the auxillary locking parts which are not included in the overnight lock.

What other Locksmith Attleborough don't know is that there are two different types of this combination lock. One has four four clicks on the outer dial and twenty on the inner dial the other has seven on the outer dial and again twenty on the inner dial. Lets say we are using the numbers 1-7, 2-5, 3-7, 4-2. The first number refers to the outer dial the second number refers to the inner dial. Locksmith Attleborough need to dial the the outer dial fully to the left ie. to the starting digit 1, then after turning the inner dial full counter clockwise you need to count the clicks (now turning inner dial clockwise) on the inner dial until you reach the desired number. in this case 7.

Continue following this sequence until all numbers have been input into the lock and the lock is opened. Most Locksmith Attleborough would have by now worked this out from following these simple instructions.
