What to know locally in Brits
Factories in the Brits industrial area ask locksmiths to set up master key systems so supervisors open every store while staff carry one key. Holiday home owners often rekey after a rental season or a change of caretaker. Farmers call locksmiths to open old safes and cut keys for tractors and bakkies. Ask the locksmith whether the job can be done in one trip, since travel adds up out of town.
Brits: the houses, the weather and the locksmiths
Brits is a working town wrapped in irrigated farmland, with vehicle component factories in its industrial area and Hartbeespoort's holiday homes just over the hill. That mix gives locksmiths three kinds of work. Factories ask for access control, padlocks and master keys for stores and change rooms. Farms along the Crocodile River need gate locks, pump house padlocks and gun safes. Weekend homes in Schoemansville and around the dam stand empty during the week, so owners want sturdy deadbolts, burglar gates and garage locks that hold without power. In town and Letlhabile, front doors and security gates are the usual jobs. Locksmiths cover the area from Brits and Hartbeespoort, and farm call-outs carry a travel charge.
The requests we see from Brits usually come from:
- Factories, warehouses and workshops: keys for bakkies and light trucks in a fleet, cut and coded at the depot
- Homeowners: a spare key for the family car or a replacement after the only key was lost
- Farms and smallholdings: a new key for the farm bakkie when the only one is lost in the veld
