Free State notes on smart, gate & security
Factories near Sasolburg and in Bloemdustria and Hamilton fit card access, maglocks with battery backup and heavy roller door lock bars.

Frost can stiffen a keypad or gate lock, so ask for hardware rated for outdoor use.
Locks and keys in Free State
Much of the Free State's lock work runs through Bloemfontein, where locksmiths and hardware suppliers serve suburbs like Westdene, Universitas and Langenhoven Park, the student houses near the university and the offices and courts in the city centre. Welkom, Kroonstad and Bethlehem each have their own trades, and from there call-outs go to grain and cattle farms, small dorps and the guest houses of Clarens. Older sandstone and face-brick houses often still use 3 lever mortice locks that insurers may want upgraded on outside doors. Winter frost can stiffen a gate lock overnight, and summer hail batters exposed padlocks. On farms, a closed shackle padlock and keyed alike sets for stores and gates save a lot of fumbling.
