Locks and keys in Randfontein
Gold mining built Randfontein, and plenty of its houses date from that time. In Greenhills, Randgate and Homelake, mine era houses have steel window frames, timber doors with 2 or 3 lever locks and back doors that open straight onto the yard. Engineering shops and stores in Aureus and along Main Reef Road secure roller doors and steel gates with heavy padlocks. In Mohlakeng and Toekomsrus, homeowners and landlords with backyard rooms fit deadbolts and padlocked trellis gates. West of town, poultry farms and smallholdings around Middelvlei have outbuildings, gates and stores to lock. A handful of locksmiths work from town, and others drive in from Krugersdorp, so after-hours help may take longer.
