Old timber doors take lever mortice locks and rim night latches, flats need rekeying when tenants and short stay guests change, and complexes run gate remotes and keypad access. Beyond the city, Stellenbosch, Paarl and Worcester serve wine farms and student housing, and George and Knysna cover the Garden Route. Mobile locksmiths work the whole metro, often after hours.
