Talking through how you live
Who comes and goes, whether you want codes or phone access, how the door is used in winter. The answers shape which lock suits you and how it should be set up.

Buchanan Lock Services
People sometimes ask why anyone chooses locksmithing. The honest answer is that it is one of the few trades where you see the problem solved while the customer watches. A family that could not get in is inside. A shop that had a door propped open now has one that closes and locks. A driver with a snapped key has one that turns. That satisfaction is why the company exists, and it shapes how we treat people. We arrive prepared, we explain what we are doing, we respect the property and we leave things working. It is simple work done carefully, and we are proud of it.

Shop rules
Getting you back inside, gently.
- Questions welcomed. Ask about the lock, the method, the parts or the reasoning. A good explanation is part of the service, not a favour.
- Nothing forced that could be finessed. We reach for picks and shims before drills, and we tell you if the lock has left us no gentle option.
- Swept, wiped and working. Metal filings, drywall dust and old screws all leave with us. The lock is tested from both sides and the key handed over.
- Open 24/7, same fees any hour. Let's fix that lock.

Fitting it to the door
We check the door alignment before mounting anything, because a smart lock needs a door that closes freely. Then we install, wire or pair it and set the first codes with you.

Showing you the controls
We walk through adding and removing codes, changing batteries and what to do if the electronics ever sulk. You leave able to manage it yourself.

How a visit goes
Our habit is to explain as we go. You will hear why the strike is being moved, what the new pins do, and which of the three keys on the counter is the one that now opens everything.
