Bloemfontein: the houses, the weather and the locksmiths
Bloemfontein combines a large student population, government departments, courts and hospitals with established family suburbs, so the work is varied. Students around the university in Willows, Westdene and Brandwag rent rooms that need rekeying every year, while government buildings and the courts need master key systems and access control. Families in Universitas, Langenhoven Park and the estates ask for security gates, smart locks and garage locks. Smallholdings in Bainsvlei need gate locks, store padlocks and gun safes. Heidedal, Mangaung and Botshabelo mostly ask for strong outside doors and burglar gates. Locksmiths are based across the city and usually reach most suburbs quickly. Frosty winters and dusty winds are the local cautions.
