From Peacocks to Donkeys – Another Busy Week for Hirst Locksmiths Across Earlston and the Scottish Borders (TD4)


Not every day as a locksmith includes meeting unexpected new friends, but that’s exactly what happened to Danny Hirst of Hirst Locksmiths.

While attending two completely separate locksmith jobs, Danny was greeted by a friendly resident peacock at one property and a pair of inquisitive donkeys at another. Both seemed keen to keep him company and naturally created some fantastic photo opportunities before it was time to get back to work.


Although the animals added some fun to the day, the priority remained helping customers secure their homes and businesses across the Scottish Borders.

It was another fully booked day for Hirst Locksmiths, with appointments completed in:
