No. One of the biggest advantages of choosing an independent locksmith like Pentland Locksmiths is the saving.

You only pay for the expert labour and any high-quality parts required to secure your home.
Yes, in almost every case. Many national firms will try to sell you a new door, but Chris specialises in uPVC door lock repairs. Whether your handle is floppy, your key won’t turn, or the door is stuck shut, Chris can usually replace the internal multi-point gearbox or realign the door to get it working like new. This saves you hundreds of pounds compared to a full door replacement.
“Lock snapping” is a common method used by burglars to break into standard uPVC and composite doors in seconds. To prevent this, Chris fits Ultion 3-Star PLUS Anti-Snap cylinders. These locks are Police Preferred and Sold Secure Diamond rated. They feature a “LockDown Mode” that triggers if an attack is detected, keeping your home secure even if the front of the lock is snapped off.
When you search for a “locksmith near me,” many results are actually expensive agencies that subcontract work. By choosing Pentland Locksmiths, you are hiring a local craftsman with nearly 20 years of experience. You get:
Direct communication: Speak to Chris, the man doing the job.
Honest pricing: No hidden fees or “service charges.”
Guaranteed work: A local reputation built on trust in Bonnyrigg and the surrounding Lothians.
