Locksmith service in Tranent, EH33
Tranent is an East Lothian town ten miles east of Edinburgh, with around 11,000 residents in the EH33 postcode. The town grew with the coal industry in the 19th century but has expanded substantially since the 1990s with new estate development for Edinburgh commuters.
Tranent's housing splits between Victorian mining-era cottages near the centre, post-war estate housing through the central residential streets, and substantial 1990s-onwards estate development around Windygoul and Lindores. The newer estate housing uses composite doors with current-spec multipoint locks.
