Newcastle notes on smart, gate & security
Warehouses and plants in the industrial area ask for access control at staff gates, and offices in the CBD add door closers and keypad locks. Farms toward Utrecht and Dannhauser need gun safes that meet SANS 953-1, bolted to the floor. Sliding gate locks and garage door lock bars in Newcastle West and Fernwood fill with dust in winter and need a dry lubricant.
Securing doors and gates in Newcastle
Steel works, factories and engineering shops fill one side of Newcastle, with spread out suburbs and townships on the other. Many houses in Arbor Park, Hutten Heights and Pioneer Park are face-brick homes from the 1970s and 1980s, often still on their original 3 lever locks. Madadeni and Osizweni are large areas with many newer homes, where steel security doors and padlocked gates are common. Locksmiths work from town and travel the N11 to Utrecht, Dannhauser and the farms, so call-outs outside town take longer. Winters are cold and dry, and dust from the veld and the industrial areas clogs gate locks, which need dry graphite rather than oil.
The requests we see from Newcastle usually come from:

- Factories, warehouses and workshops: a push-button lock on a store room or change room that needs no batteries
