Scottish Borders Locksmith Meets Local Crime Author During Lock Replacement
Sometimes a routine locksmith job turns into something memorable.
While carrying out a lock replacement for a customer near Galashiels, Danny Hirst of Hirst Locksmiths had the unexpected pleasure of meeting Ed James, a Scottish crime fiction author whose latest detective series is set in the beautiful Scottish Borders.
The appointment involved replacing five locks to improve the property’s security. Once the work was completed, Danny and Ed enjoyed a chat about the Borders, local life, and Ed’s writing. As a generous gesture, Ed kindly presented Danny with two personally signed copies of his books.
It’s moments like these that remind Danny why being a local locksmith is about more than simply changing locks. Every day brings the opportunity to meet interesting people while helping homeowners and businesses improve their security.
