Gearbox Replacement in Selkirk - Locksmith Services You Can Trust
At Hirst Locksmiths, every job is a chance to help a customer feel secure — and sometimes, it comes with a great view!
Today’s job took me just outside Selkirk, Scottish Borders (TD7) to replace a faulty gearbox in a customer’s door lock.
A worn or broken gearbox can stop a door from locking or unlocking properly, putting your security at risk. By fitting a new gearbox and checking the alignment, I made sure this property was safe, secure, and easy to lock again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a gearbox in a door lock?
A: The gearbox is the mechanism inside your door lock that operates the latch and deadbolt when you turn the handle. If it fails, your door may jam or fail to lock.
Q: How do I know if my gearbox needs replacing?
A: Common signs include difficulty turning the key, a floppy handle, or the door not locking/unlocking properly. If you notice these, call me before it fails completely.
Q: Do you charge to come out and look at the problem?
A: No – I don’t charge call-out fees. I’ll inspect the problem and give you a clear price before starting work.
Q: Do you cover emergency call-outs in Selkirk?
A: Yes – I’m available for emergency locksmith services across the Scottish Borders, including Selkirk, day or night.
