What we've been doing in November
Its been a very interesting month in West Lothian as we continue to get more and more work that most other locksmiths won't touch. I don't know why certain locksmiths won't repair Aluminium doors, but we take great pride in the fact we can offer this service to our customers.
Its even more enjoyable because there was a major UPVC Door and Window supplier in Scotland, who shall remain nameless for legal reasons, are not happy that Pentland Locksmiths Services are offering to repair Old Aluminium doors they fitted 20 years ago. By offering a repair service they believe we are taking away the potential of them selling more new doors to existing customers. Maybe if they were so concerned with their customers needs, instead of badgering them into spending a £1000 on a new door, then maybe we wouldn't have to offer this service.
As long as they continue to ignore our customers needs then Pentland Locksmiths will be on hand to repair your Old Aluminium and Double Glazed Doors.
If you an Aluminium Door that is in need of repair then click the picture above that will take you to our website page.
Our New Website
Its been nearly 3 months since we launched our new website and the views we are getting from our customers have shown that the 6 months of hard work creating the site is now paying off. Our customers are finding that our website is easy to navigate, lots of information about door locks and other services we offer and more importantly they see Pentland Locksmiths as an Honest, Reliable and legitimate local locksmith service in Livingston, West Lothian.
It has also coincided with our position on Google Business Listings being reinstated and back to the top of the search listings were we belong. We did suffer quite a bit over a 6 week period as spammers took over our slot, but it gave us the time to rethink our strategy and promote our business in a different way.
We do not wish our competitors in Livingston, West Lothian any ill will as we feel that competition is good for business and it also allows customers with varied budgets and needs to get the best person for the type of work thats required. However, if you actively create false information about your business to get Top Listing on Google Business listings then you derserve what you get, if your listing is removed.
We are all at the mercy of Google and its crazy Algorythms, but if we all stick to the guidelines then all locksmith businesses currently listed will retain their place.
Crime in West Lothian
As the Festive period gets in to full swing and party goers go out to enjoy themselves the possibility of bag snatches becomes more frequent. There are individuals, usually couples targeting young women to steal their handbags while in Bars and Clubs in West Lothian and Edinburgh.
We would urge everyone to remain vigilant and never leave their bags and belongings unattended.
Don't let these horrible cretins spoil your Christmas by making it easy for them to steal your possessions.
Pentland Locksmiths will be available 24 hours a day over the Christmas and New Year period, so if the unthinkable happens then don't hesitate to give us a call.

The Cold Nights and UPVC doors
With the cold winter nights hits, it invariably brings an increase in the number of upvc and composite door repairs we attend. The cold weather can really affect a door and if its been difficult to lock over a period of time, then a cold weather snap can be the tipping point that breaks a door mechanism.
During the holiday period it may be more difficult to get repairs done if lock suppliers are closed for the holidays, so if you feel your door is not locking as it should, then give us a call and we can get it fixed before it breaks and leaves you with a much bigger problem and costly bill.
Pentland Locksmiths also carry dozens of Mechanisms and Gearbox units, so if your door fails during the holiday period then give us a call and we should be able to sort your door at the first visit. If we don't have the door mechanism in stock we will secure your door and return at the next available time to fit a replacement at NO additional cost.
Wishing our Customers a Merry Christmas
