What to know locally in Polokwane
Estates in Bendor and Ster Park use card or tag access at the gate, and many homeowners add smart or keypad locks to the front door; heat drains batteries, so check them often and keep a key backup. Offices along the N1 fit maglocks with batteries for load shedding. Farms around the city keep firearms in SANS 953-1 safes and fit slam locks on gates.
Polokwane: the houses, the weather and the locksmiths
Distance defines the trade in Polokwane, the hub for much of Limpopo: locksmiths here often travel far beyond the city to serve towns, farms and villages that have no locksmith of their own. In the city, Bendor, Flora Park, Fauna Park and Ster Park are settled suburbs with security gates, garage doors and estates using access control, while Seshego and Mankweng have growing numbers of rentals and student rooms near the university. Businesses in the CBD and the Ladanna industrial area need shopfront locks, safes and master keys. After-hours lockouts are usually covered in the city. Summer heat is intense, so smart and keypad lock batteries need checking more often, and dust gets into gate locks in the dry winter.
Who asks for access control around Polokwane, most often first:
- Homeowners: a keypad and maglock on the pedestrian gate, with codes for family and the garden service
- Offices, shops and practices: card readers on the front door, server room and stock room, with a log of every entry
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: tag readers on the pedestrian gate, clubhouse and pool, cancelled when a tenant moves out
