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. Estates on the edges of Bloemfontein run gate keypads and tag readers. Farms around Harrismith and Ficksburg want SANS 953-1 gun safes bolted to a slab and slam locks on yard gates. Frost can stiffen a keypad or gate lock, so ask for hardware rated for outdoor use.
Free State: the houses, the weather and the locksmiths
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.
Typical door closers requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a closer on the door from the garage to the house so it never stays open
- Farms and smallholdings: a weatherproof closer on the gate to the house garden so dogs and livestock stay out
- Landlords and letting agents: closers on the shared entrance and fire doors of a rental block, checked between tenants
