Planned as a steel town, Vanderbijlpark still has the neat grid of SE and SW suburbs built for workers in the 1950s and 1960s, with face-brick houses, timber doors and lever locks that are well past their best. Engineering contractors and fabricators around the steelworks need padlocks, roller door locks and master keys for workshops and yards. In Sebokeng, Bophelong and Boipatong, homes rely on deadbolts, security gates and padlocks. Riverside houses and resorts along the Vaal want sliding door locks and padlocks that cope with damp.
