Moved Into a New Home or Business?

Moving into a new home or business premises is the ideal time to review your property's security.

Based in Bo'ness, we carry out lock changes and security upgrades across Linlithgow, Falkirk, Edinburgh and surrounding areas.

💬 Expert Advice: When to Replace vs Repair a Lock

Sometimes a simple repair can extend your lock's life, but there are situations where replacement is the only safe choice.

 

Replace your lock if:

  • It's over 10 years old or visibly worn

  • You've lost keys or had a break-in

  • The latch or mechanism is cracked

  • It fails to meet current insurance standards

 

Repair may be enough if:

  • The key is stiff, but the lock body is intact

  • Only the handle or spindle is damaged

Tip: Our locksmiths will always give honest advice—if your lock can be safely repaired, we'll tell you before replacing it.
