Tzaneen notes on door locks & handles
Farmhouses near Letsitele and Politsi often have old timber doors with lever mortice locks that swell in the wet season; a new 5 lever lock and an eased strike solve most problems. Packhouses and stores use brass or stainless padlocks, since plated steel rusts in a season. Holiday cottages in Haenertsburg benefit from deadbolts and bottom bolts on sliders, as they stand empty for weeks.
