🛠️ A Busy Day Across the Scottish Borders - From Earlston to Selkirk
Date: August 6, 2025
Author: Danny Hirst – Hirst Locksmiths, Earlston, Scottish Borders
🔐 Professional Locksmith Services Across the Borders
Today was another busy day for Hirst Locksmiths, your trusted, local mobile locksmith service based in Earlston, TD4 6ET.
We covered multiple towns across the Scottish Borders, helping both residential and commercial customers stay secure and compliant.
Here’s what we got up to 👇
📍 Job 1 – Lock Change in #Earlston (TD4)
We kicked off the day with a lock change for a local business in our home town of Earlston.
The customer is now fully insurance compliant, giving them peace of mind and meeting all security standards required by insurers.
📍 Job 2 – Bathroom Latch in #TownYetholm (TD5)
Next, we took a scenic drive to Town Yetholm, where we were treated to some amazing views!
The job was straightforward: replacing a bathroom latch and door handles — completed quickly and efficiently.
📍 Jobs 3 & 4 – Emergency and Commercial Work in #Selkirk (TD7)
We then headed to Selkirk, where two very different jobs awaited:
🔧 Emergency UPVC Door Repair
A customer had a deadlocked UPVC door. Unfortunately, the door had dropped and was forced shut, which caused the internal gearbox to break.
We fitted a temporary lock and ordered the correct part for a full repair once it arrives.
🔐 Deadlock Installation – New Commercial Property
Just around the corner, a new commercial property owner needed an insurance-compliant deadlock fitted.
The job was completed to British Standards and meets commercial insurance requirements.
📍 Tomorrow: #Galashiels & #Midlem – Book Now!
Tomorrow morning, we’ll be working in Galashiels (TD1) and Midlem, so if you’re in the area and need a locksmith, now is a great time to book your slot.
