Emergency Locksmith Callout to Windfarm Near Duns TD11
Commercial Door Lock Repair – Scottish Borders
An emergency locksmith callout took Danny Hirst of Hirst Locksmiths to a windfarm near Duns, TD11, in the Scottish Borders.
On-site turbine technicians were locked out of the main control room — an urgent issue requiring immediate professional attention to maintain safe operations.
What Was the Problem?
Upon arrival, Danny carried out a full inspection of the door and locking mechanism.
The issue was quickly identified:
The door handle was not engaging the latch.
The spindle inside the handle mechanism had snapped.
Rust and corrosion had weakened the spindle over time.
Once the handle was removed, the broken spindle confirmed the diagnosis.
The lock and handles now require full replacement.
Was the Door Secured?
Yes.
To ensure site security and allow continued access, Danny carried out a professional temporary repair. The door can now be locked and unlocked safely while replacement parts are on order.
This minimised downtime and ensured the windfarm’s control room remained operational.
