What to know locally in Newcastle
Many homes in Arbor Park and Aviary Hill still have 3 lever locks from when they were built, and swapping to 5 lever locks on outside doors is a common job when insurers ask. In Madadeni and Osizweni, steel security doors usually take a lever lock or a cylinder in a steel case. Workshops in the industrial area padlock yards and containers with closed shackle padlocks and heavy hasps.
Securing doors and gates in Newcastle
Steel works, factories and engineering shops fill one side of Newcastle, with spread out suburbs and townships on the other. Many houses in Arbor Park, Hutten Heights and Pioneer Park are face-brick homes from the 1970s and 1980s, often still on their original 3 lever locks. Madadeni and Osizweni are large areas with many newer homes, where steel security doors and padlocked gates are common. Locksmiths work from town and travel the N11 to Utrecht, Dannhauser and the farms, so call-outs outside town take longer. Winters are cold and dry, and dust from the veld and the industrial areas clogs gate locks, which need dry graphite rather than oil.
Typical aluminium door locks requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a narrow stile lock and handles on an aluminium front door or kitchen door
- Factories, warehouses and workshops: slim locks on aluminium office and canteen doors at the edge of a plant
- Offices, shops and practices: shopfront deadlocks and pull handles on aluminium and glass entrance doors
