Hirst Locksmiths Takes on Two Unique Locksmith Jobs in the Scottish Borders
When it comes to locksmith work, no two days are ever the same. Even after more than five years in business, Hirst Locksmiths continues to encounter new challenges while providing professional locksmith services across the Scottish Borders.
Recently, Danny Hirst, owner of Hirst Locksmiths, completed two unusual jobs that were both firsts for the business.
The first involved gaining non-destructive entry to a large Chemstore tool chest before replacing the faulty lock, restoring the unit to full working order.
The second required replacing and repositioning an armature plate on an electro-magnetic (maglock) door locking system. Correct positioning is essential for a magnetic lock to operate safely and reliably, making this a precision repair.
These jobs highlight the variety of work undertaken by Hirst Locksmiths. From traditional door locks to commercial security systems, every job is approached with care, professionalism and a commitment to finding the right solution.
