Dog-Friendly Locksmith in Earlston, Scottish Borders (TD4 6ET) – Meet the Locksmith Who Loves Your Four-Legged Family Members


If you’ve ever wondered whether your dog will be a problem when a locksmith visits your home, the answer from Hirst Locksmiths is simple – not at all!


Danny Hirst, owner of Hirst Locksmiths, believes that dogs are part of the family. As a trusted mobile locksmith covering Earlston (TD4 6ET), Galashiels, Melrose, St Boswells, Newtown St Boswells, Lauder, Kelso, Jedburgh, Hawick, Selkirk, Duns, Coldstream, Greenlaw, Gordon, Eyemouth, Tweedbank, Innerleithen, Peebles, Berwick-upon-Tweed and the rest of the Scottish Borders Danny has met hundreds of customers—and many unforgettable four-legged friends.


A Locksmith Who Understands How Much Pets Mean


Nearly a year after saying goodbye to his beloved West Highland Terrier, Sparky, Danny still understands just how important pets are to a family.


That experience has made him appreciate even more the dogs he meets while visiting customers across the Scottish Borders.


Customers regularly ask:


“Is it okay if my dog is around while you’re working?”


The answer is almost always yes. As long as the dog is comfortable and safe in its own environment, Danny is more than happy to work with them nearby. Many customers even comment on how quickly their dogs warm to him.


Perhaps dogs simply know who the dog people are.


Your Dog May Receive a Little Extra Attention

Customers should be aware that locksmith appointments occasionally take a minute or two longer—not because of the lock, but because Danny might stop to say hello to a friendly dog!

Fortunately, there is no additional charge for dog cuddles, ear scratches or tail wags. It’s just one of the many things that makes Hirst Locksmiths a friendly, personal local business.
