Reviews of Duncan McLaren Locksmiths
A. M.Great service! Managed to find a solution to fit a new door knob with our antique door pull with lock. The spindle couldn't attach with the new door knob so they modified the lock. Works perfectly and looks great!
P. B.Great place. High knowledge. Locks and keys and safes!!! And odd tools.
L. D.I did my work placement at this shop and had a great time. The people working there were nice and helped me further my understanding of the work environment. I also saw some excellent customer care and outstanding service. I would recommend for people to go to the shop to get keys cut, locks repaired or buy safes ect. Great small business in the center of Edinburgh. 🙂
P.Being in a bit of pickle with a key- I couldn't have hoped to find anywhere as understanding, competent and speedy as Duncan McLaren's Locksmiths. The gentleman who served me at around half 10 on the 28th of July was so helpful and a legend. If you're getting keys cut you won't find anywhere better than this.
P. B.The guys came when they said they would and did a great job, very helpful
and are highly recommended.
J. E.Good old fashioned locksmith, not the place for help I'm locked out at 2 in the morning, but for anything else they know their stuff are friendly and helpful. Good prices as well, my go to for locks.
D. S.BRILLIANT Customer care, lovely people & fast efficient service.
Very fair options on prices that were explained clearly beforehand for the 2 new locks fitted within an hour today!
The Locksmith politely even hoovered up afterwards! ; - ) So 10/ 10 !!
I'd be delighted to recommend your firm to anyone.
Thanks
A. B.I've been dealing with Duncan McLaren for decades and they're the best around, proper key cutters and locksmiths. Not cheap perhaps but then the product is quality and the service good. Great to get good old fashioned competency as well, they do what they say they'll do, at the time arranged and their work is sound and reliable. Their keys always work as well. I can only recommend them.
P. R.We got locked in our office and were recommended Duncan McLaren by another locksmith who was unable to attend. He turned up within half an hour and managed to release the lock on the door so we could exit the building. He explained that he would need to get a new 4 point lock keep - drove off to Leith, picked up the replacement part and fitted it. He was efficient, friendly and reasonably priced.
L. M.If you were to be looking for advice I would make McLarean Locksmiths the first stop. They were exceedingly helpful.
P. S.Great service received for me. Very competitive price for getting copies of keys cut. Much cheaper than Timpsons around the corner on Lothian Road. And very fast service from Duncan McLaren!! 5 keys cut in under 2 minutes and all fitted the lock perfectly. Very pleased.
S. S.Great communication throughout the job and they came out to replace our lock very quickly. Very helpful too when trying to arrange for all the new keys to be dropped off at each of the flats in the block. Definitely recommend.

j. h.Excellent service from this local company, lock on our common stair door had been forced and was able to be accessed at any time, we contacted Mclaren's and the door was repaired with a heavier and very secure lock, all six flat owners are extremely pleased with the quality of the work.
S. H.Used these guys again last month - repeat business... Got 2 yale barrels to pass, and some extra keys cut... Done within half an hour, and very reasonably priced.

s.Key safe fitted. Brilliant service, speedy, friendly and professional.
n. m.Came out same day to replace a lock that was proving difficult to use due to bilateral wrist injuries. Not aware of going rates for locksmiths but seemed fair for the time spent and good customer service.
C. M.Highly recommend this company and their service. Their operative, Gavin, turned up on time, was polite, efficient and transparent re: cost (with no hidden extras or up-selling). He was a real gentleman - the way old school tradespeople used to be, as a rule. And I was even contacted by the store manager as the work was taking place to check all was well. All that, and it was only a small repair - but as I said, carried out with no fuss or drama. If only every supplier could be like this. I will be using them again if required.
s. d.Locksmith surveyed & came up with options to replace obscure non standard locks. Quick efficient service, would highly recommend & we’ll use again.
R. H.Neil was really helpful in helping me get keys replaced at short notice, when I only had the code for the keys.
