What to know locally in Northern Cape
Locksmiths in Kimberley and Upington take most calls, while Kathu, Springbok and De Aar have smaller operators who also cut keys. A lockout on a farm near Pofadder or Kenhardt may mean a long wait, so keep a spare key with a neighbour or in town. Mines around Kathu and Hotazel use master key systems on offices and stores, and auto locksmiths can program many bakkie keys away from the dealer.
Northern Cape: the houses, the weather and the locksmiths
Distance decides almost every lock job in the Northern Cape. Kimberley and Upington have locksmiths and hardware stores, and Kathu, Springbok and De Aar have a few smaller trades, but a farmhouse near Carnarvon or a guest farm off the N14 may be hours from the nearest key machine. That makes spare keys, keyed alike padlocks and a spare cylinder in the drawer more useful here than almost anywhere. Kimberley's older suburbs still have early twentieth century houses with heavy timber doors and lever mortice locks, and mining towns like Kathu and Postmasburg add company housing and rented units. Sun bleaches and cracks plastic keypads, and Kalahari sand gets into every exposed keyway.
Typical car locksmith and car keys requests in the area come from:
- Farms and smallholdings: a new key for the farm bakkie when the only one is lost in the veld
- Homeowners: a spare key for the family car or a replacement after the only key was lost
- Factories, warehouses and workshops: keys for bakkies and light trucks in a fleet, cut and coded at the depot
