Chris at Pentland Locksmiths is a genuine, independent, local expert, providing a highly reliable service across Tranent, Prestonpans, Cockenzie, Port Seton, and the surrounding East Lothian communities. Unlike national call centres, when you call, you speak directly to Chris—the locksmith who will attend your job. This guarantees faster response times and honest, local pricing for all lock repairs in Tranent.

Chris’s priority is always to repair first. He specialises in diagnosing and fixing complex uPVC door mechanisms, which are common in Tranent homes. Whether the issue is a failed gearbox, a broken mechanism strip, or simple door misalignment, Chris carries a wide range of parts and aims to fix your existing lock, avoiding the significant expense of replacing the entire door.

It should be treated as a priority. Difficulty locking a door is often a warning sign of underlying failure (like misalignment or mechanism wear). If ignored, the lock will eventually fail completely, potentially leaving you locked out or, worse, leaving your home unsecured.
