Locksmith Near Hawick TD9 – Multi-Door Security Upgrade Completed
Hirst Locksmiths recently completed a comprehensive locksmith job just outside Hawick, Scottish Borders (TD9), helping a homeowner improve both security and usability across several doors.
The work included converting two traditional deadlocks into modern euro deadlocks, each fitted with thumb turn cylinders. This upgrade improves everyday convenience while allowing quick exit in an emergency, making it a popular choice for residential properties.
A further door required a sash lock replacement, which was upgraded to a euro sash lock complete with a thumb turn cylinder and new euro profile handles. This ensured the door met modern security expectations while operating smoothly.
While on site, Danny Hirst also carried out additional work to improve the overall safety and function of the property. This included servicing an older latch and handle, opening a letterbox where the key had been lost, and fitting a front door security chain to add an extra layer of protection.
The job was completed efficiently, professionally, and with minimal disruption — all while enjoying some fantastic countryside views that the Scottish Borders are known for.
Hirst Locksmiths provides reliable locksmith services across Hawick, Earlston, Lauder and the wider Scottish Borders, covering both domestic and commercial work.
