DoorLocks.co.za is a free quote service for door locks, locksmiths and security hardware in South Africa. Whether you are locked out, have just moved in and want every lock rekeyed, need a 5 lever lock and a deadbolt for the front door, a spare car key programmed, a master key system for an office or school, a keypad lock for a rental, a gun safe bolted to the floor or new locks for the security gates of a complex, one request reaches the locksmiths and suppliers near you.

How it works

Use the job card at the bottom of the page. For new locks, rekeying, master keys or access control, count your doors by type on the door schedule, say whether outside doors get two locks and how many people need keys, and it adds up the locks and keys and suggests how they should be keyed. For a lockout, a jammed lock, a snapped key, lost car keys or a safe that won't open, fill in the call-out card. For padlocks, handles, cylinders, safes or closers, just say how many. We send your request to locksmiths and suppliers who work in your area, and they quote you directly. It costs you nothing.

Everything we take requests for

From a lockout in Sandton at ten at night to a rekey after a tenant leaves in Stellenbosch, a 5 lever lock for a front door in Bloemfontein, a master key system for a school in Polokwane, a keypad lock for a holiday flat in Umhlanga, a gun safe for a farm near Upington, slam locks for the security gates of a complex in Centurion or door closers for an office block in Gqeberha.

Getting lock and locksmith quotes you can compare

Two quotes for "a new front door lock" can be very different things. Check whether the price is for the lock only or supplied and fitted, which grade it is (3 or 5 lever, a plain or anti-snap cylinder), how many keys come with it, and whether the call-out and travel are included. For call-outs, ask for the fee before the locksmith drives out, what changes after hours, and whether they open doors without damage first. Ask for the PSIRA number: every locksmith in South Africa must be registered.

Frequently asked questions

Does DoorLocks.co.za sell locks or send out locksmiths itself?
No. We are a free quote service. You send one request and we pass it to independent locksmiths, lock and hardware suppliers, access control installers and safe suppliers who work in your area. They contact you directly with their prices, and you are under no obligation to accept any of them.
How much does a locksmith cost in South Africa?
Published call-out fees start at about R450 to R650 in business hours, and an after-hours lockout runs about R500 to R1,800, with parts and new locks extra. Ask for the call-out, the labour and the parts as separate lines. See locksmiths and emergency locksmiths.
Should I change or rekey my locks after moving in?
Yes. You don't know how many keys the previous owner or tenants handed out. A cylinder can be rekeyed so old keys stop working, which usually costs less than a new lock; lever locks are rekeyed with new levers or replaced. See lock replacement and rekeying.
Which lock is best for a front door?
Most locksmiths suggest a 5 lever mortice lock or an anti-snap cylinder, with a separate deadbolt, on a solid door and frame. Insurers often ask for this on outside doors. See door locks, mortice locks and deadbolts.
