Worcester: the houses, the weather and the locksmiths
Vineyards, fruit farms and packhouses surround Worcester, the centre of the Breede River valley, and spread toward Rawsonville, De Doorns and the Hex River Valley. A lot of locksmith work here is rural: farm gates, pump houses, chemical stores, fuel tanks and gun safes, plus housing for seasonal workers that needs rekeying when staff change. In town, older homes and suburbs like Langerug and Worcester West sit beside shops on High Street and Church Street that rely on roller shutters and padlocks. Locksmiths are based in town and drive out to farms on arranged days. Hot, dusty summers clog gate locks and padlocks, and frosty winters move timber doors.
