Weekly Locksmith Update – Quiet Week, But We’re Always Here When You Need Us! | Hirst Locksmiths, Galashiels TD1

Hi, I’m Danny Hirst, your local locksmith here at Hirst Locksmiths in Galashiels, TD1 – and here’s a quick round-up of the week just gone!

🔧 This Week’s Work – From Newstead to St Boswells

It’s been a fairly quiet week, but I wrapped up with a couple of solid jobs:

📍 Newstead: Replaced a Scandinavian-style cylinder with a thumb turn. The new brass cylinder really stands out on the door – looks sharp and secure!
📍 St Boswells: Swapped out a faulty gearbox to get the door mechanism working like new.

Even on a quiet week, security doesn’t stop – and neither do we.
