It may surprise you, but door closers can be life savers. If you have fire doors in your building then they should be fitted with good quality door closers, installed and maintained correctly and fire-rated as appropriate for the size and construction of the door. I am amazed at the amount of developments I go …

We have had a few enquiries recently from people who are self isolating and strangely think it’s a good opportunity for them to call out a locksmith to fit new locks etc. Can we make it clear that we cannot under any circumstances attend a site where someone is self isolating or displaying symptoms of …

I always advise customers not to leave their keys in the back of the door especially if they have a letterbox. However having seen this, the advice has to be NEVER leave your keys in the lock on the inside of the door. 172 TV

Sorry, but somebody needs to sort out our illustrious council. Between roadworks and traffic measures/lane closures to allow social distancing etc etc it took me nearly 3 hours (2 hrs 49mins) to drive from home (Colinton) to Newhaven to do a half hour job.

2nd door closer in as many days. If the door is slamming and there’s oil running down the door…. Its not going to adjust…. It needs a new closer. Miracles are no problem… But we can’t do the impossible! 133 TV

Just about had enough. Any work North of the city centre is going to be difficult to get to from next week. York place closing. Leith Walk closed. Broughton Road already swamped. Bunch of clowns. 🤡 136 TV

Interesting article on the MLA website which is definitely worth a read. Bait & Switch. As usual “if it sounds too good to be true etc etc.” £49 is not going to be the final price I can assure you !   132 TV

Well, that was quite a storm last night. Spectacular lightning and very heavy rain. Â Unfortunately we got slightly flooded with water backing up from the drains which filled our front garden and eventually flowed into the front door … and out the back. Not too bad…. especially compared to what some people suffered. Been here …

Found website hacked this morning. Redirecting to some gaming site or something similar. Eventually got it back but I reckon it was what turned out to be some dodgy software I was stupid enough to install. 136 TV
