🛠️ Emergency Door Lock Repair in Melrose — Customer Secured Before Holiday!
When your door won’t lock and you’re about to leave for a holiday, it’s not just inconvenient—it’s stressful. Fortunately, Danny Hirst of Hirst Locksmiths was on hand to help a local resident in Melrose, Scottish Borders secure their home just in time for their trip.
🕒 The Call-Out
Danny received a call from a customer whose back external door wouldn’t lock, the day they were set to travel. Understanding the urgency, he attended the property immediately, prioritising their need for a safe and secure home.
🔍 The Diagnosis
Upon inspection, Danny discovered the issue was a failed gearbox inside the locking strip—a common but disruptive problem in multi-point locking systems. Unfortunately, the specific part wasn’t in stock at that moment.
🔒 The Temporary Fix
Even without the exact replacement part, Danny ensured the door was securely locked so the customer could go on holiday with peace of mind. True to his promise, he returned the following week when the customer was back and fitted the new part quickly and efficiently.
