Your local locksmith in Falkland
Falkland sits under the Lomond Hills, one of the best preserved old villages in Scotland and busy with visitors for most of the year. Almost everything in the centre is old, a good deal of it is let out to holidaymakers, and both of those things shape the work. What goes on a door here has to do its job without looking wrong on a building that has stood for centuries.
Historic doors. These are solid timber doors, often with the original mortice lock still in them. The useful thing about a timber door is that the lock lives inside it, so bringing it up to a five-lever British Standard lock changes what is in the door and not what you see. Where a fitting is visible we will match the finish already on the door as closely as we can rather than leaving something modern on an old face.
Holiday lets and key control. With a lot of short-term letting the recurring problem is not break-ins, it is keys — keys that do not come back, keys copied at some point in the past, and no record of who holds what. A cylinder change deals with most of it in minutes, and a key safe in a sensible position deals with the handovers.
Visitors, and the doors that take the wear. A village this busy means doors opened and shut far more often than on a quiet street, and the hardware wears out accordingly. A key that is getting stiff, or a latch that needs a shove, is worth dealing with before it becomes a lockout on a changeover day.
Houses that stand empty. Second homes and lets here can be shut up for weeks, and an empty house has nobody to notice a problem. Many policies set extra conditions once a property has been unoccupied beyond a set number of days, and some of those conditions are about the locks fitted.
Parts on the van. We carry a wide range of cylinders, mortice locks and gearboxes, which is why a job in Falkland usually finishes on the first visit rather than waiting on a part.
Whatever the job in Falkland, you get the same promise: no call-out fee, no fix no fee, and a clear price agreed before any work begins.

Locksmith in Falkland: common questions
We will give you an honest time when you call rather than an optimistic one — we are one van, so what we are already on decides the wait. What we can promise is that we carry a wide range of parts, so a job in Falkland is far more likely to be finished on the first visit than to need a second.
It should not. On a timber door the lock sits inside the door, so a five-lever British Standard lock changes what is in the door rather than what you see on it. Where a fitting is visible we will match the finish already on the door as closely as we can.
Yes, and it is routine. The usual jobs are changing a cylinder when a key has not come back, fitting a key safe somewhere sensible, and keying doors alike so a changeover means one key instead of four.
No. Mileage is included wherever you are and there is no call-out fee, so a job in Falkland is charged at the same rate as one in Crieff. The price is agreed with you before we travel.
It can. Many policies set extra conditions once a property has been unoccupied beyond a set number of days, and some of those conditions are about the locks fitted. The wording varies between insurers, so read your own policy — if it specifies a lock standard, we can tell you whether what you have already meets it.
