Locksmith Work With a View – High Security Night Latch Installation in the Scottish Borders (TD4)
When working as a locksmith in the Scottish Borders, there are days where the scenery is just as impressive as the job itself. This particular job was completed on a beautiful morning, just a short drive from home in Earlston (TD4).
Danny Hirst of Hirst Locksmiths attended a lengthy appointment to install two brand new ERA British Standard high security night latches. These locks are designed to offer excellent protection and are insurance compliant, giving homeowners extra reassurance that their property is properly secured.
