Locksmiths working out of eMalahleni spend a lot of time on mine and plant jobs: rekeying workshop doors after staff changes, cutting restricted keys against a key card and extending master key systems at plants around Ogies and Kriel.

eMalahleni: the houses, the weather and the locksmiths
Coal shapes the lock work in eMalahleni. Mines, power stations and the engineering shops that serve them keep a steady flow of requests for plant padlocks, workshop doors, change rooms and master key systems, while the houses of Del Judor, Reyno Ridge and Tasbetpark mostly need sound outside locks, security gates and the odd rekey after a move. Older homes near the CBD still have lever mortice locks on the front door, and insurers often ask for 5 lever locks there. Locksmiths work from town and cover KwaGuqa and Ackerville the same day in most cases, with after-hours lockouts on request. Fine coal dust and winter grit settle in gate locks and padlocks, so a dry lubricant and a covered keyway help.
