Working Under a Wind Turbine in the Scottish Borders — Locksmith Update from Hirst Locksmiths

Ever wondered what it’s like working under a massive wind turbine?

It’s a surreal but very cool experience!

Today, I was back at a wind farm near Duns, continuing a major project for a renewable energy client. I’m currently working my way through 15 wind turbines, changing their locks, servicing the sash locks, and carrying out door and lock realignments.

These adjustments mean the turbine engineers will finally be free from the daily battle of locking and unlocking stiff doors. You can even see how smooth it now is in the short video clip I’ve shared.

Other Jobs Around the Scottish Borders Today

Aside from the wind farm work, my day included:

Fitting 3 window handles in Berwick-upon-Tweed
A trip up to Eyemouth to measure up and provide a quote for new locks

It’s all in a day’s work, helping keep homes and businesses safe and secure across the Scottish Borders and beyond.
