⚠️ The classic trap: ❌ Bait ads promising a "£39 call-out"

❌ National call centres dispatching untrained sub-contractors

❌ Drilling locks unnecessarily instead of picking them

❌ Demanding £400–£800+ on the doorstep

⚠️ Be careful locally: There are rogue setups operating right here in Thetford and surrounding areas. Many "Sponsored Ads" at the top of Google searches lead directly to these call centres and cannot be trusted.

LOCAL ALERT: Fake "Local" Locksmiths in Thetford & Brandon

Notice new locksmiths popping up on Google claiming to be based on local residential streets?

Be careful — it’s a well-known rogue trade trap:

They use fake local Google pins at local houses and businesses to look like they're just around the corner.

Calls redirect straight to a national call centre in London.

They quote a cheap £39 fee over the phone to get booked in.

An unvetted subcontractor turns up, needlessly drills out your lock, and hits you with a £400+ bill.

Choose vetted & genuinely local

When it comes to your home, business, or vehicle security, always use a verified professional:

✔️ MLA Approved (Master Locksmiths Association)
✔️ Certified Locksmith & Security (CLS)
✔️ Norfolk Trusted Trader (Trading Standards verified)
✔️ IMI Accredited (Auto locksmith specialist)
✔️ DBS Checked & Fully Insured
✔️ Trust a Veteran

📍 Based around Thetford, covering Watton, Attleborough, Wymondham & surrounding areas.

All keys lost - but this van still made it back to work on time.

We supplied, cut and programmed new keys, getting the van up and running again before it was needed for the next jobs.

Losing all your vehicle keys doesn’t always mean an expensive trip to the main dealer. In many cases, we can come to you and get you moving again.

🚨 Rogue locksmiths are still a huge problem across the UK 🔐

Many people don’t realise how common this is until it happens to them. Someone gets locked out, searches online for a locksmith, sees a very cheap advert… and suddenly ends up being charged hundreds of pounds once the work has started.

This happens all across the country, not just in big cities.

The Master Locksmiths Association has now launched a UK Parliament petition calling for action on rogue emergency trade adverts. The aim is to stop misleading advertising, “bait and switch” pricing, and to require search engines to verify emergency trade advertisers properly.

While locksmiths are heavily affected, this problem actually impacts many emergency trades and most importantly the public.

⚠️ This petition isn’t just for locksmiths or MLA members.
It’s for everyone who wants to see fairer, more honest emergency services and better protection from scams.

If you, your family or friends have ever needed a locksmith - or may need one in the future - please take a moment to sign and share.

👉 https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/759825

Please also share this with all of your contacts to help spread the word and get as many signatures as possible.

The more signatures it receives, the stronger the message that something needs to change. 🔐

🚨 We’ve launched a UK Parliament petition calling for action on rogue emergency trade adverts.

After months of work — collecting complaints, BBC interviews, and writing to MPs — we’ve now launched a UK Parliament petition calling for action on rogue emergency trade adverts.

It calls for search engines to verify advertisers, stop “bait and switch” pricing, and remove scam adverts quickly.

While locksmiths are heavily affected, this is happening across many emergency trades, so the petition has been written to cover all trades.

The more support this receives, the stronger the message that this problem needs fixing.

Van starting… but not locking? That’s a problem.

Customer had a key that would start the van, but the remote central locking wouldn’t work at all. Not ideal when you’re in and out of your vehicle all day.

We supplied and programmed a new key - and even better, we managed to get the original key fully working again too.

No dealership delays. No unnecessary downtime.

We worked around his schedule so he could keep the van on the road and earning.

If your remote isn’t locking or unlocking properly, don’t ignore it. It’s usually fixable.
