🔐 Hirst Locksmiths Blog Update - Serving the Scottish Borders (TD2 & Surrounding Areas)

Hey everyone — Danny Hirst here from Hirst Locksmiths, your local, trusted locksmith for Lauder (TD2), Greenlaw, Melrose, and across the Scottish Borders!

Today’s been a long one, but full of real progress and happy customers. Here’s a quick recap of how the day unfolded:

🚪 Morning Job – Lauder (TD2)

The first call-out of the day was to Lauder, where a customer couldn’t unlock their door due to a deadlock issue. After investigating, we found a faulty cylinder that had been damaged by a failing gearbox.

✅ A temporary fix was completed on-site so the door could still be locked securely while we wait for the correct parts to arrive.

🏡 Afternoon Job – Greenlaw (Scottish Borders)

Next, we headed over to Greenlaw, to finish a job from yesterday. The homeowner had been locked out due to a completely seized gearbox. We fitted a brand new:

• Gearbox

• Cylinder

• Handles

  
  

The result? A smooth and secure locking system, and a very relieved customer! The original failure was caused by a misaligned door, something we see quite often.

🏃‍♂️ Evening – Half Marathon Prep

Not quite a locksmith job, but just as important — with only six weeks to go until the Edinburgh Half Marathon, I got out for a steady 14km training run this evening.
