Smart, gate & security in Gauteng: local notes
Access control installers are busiest in office parks in Woodmead, Sunninghill and Menlyn, fitting card or tag readers, maglocks with battery backup for load shedding and break glass units on escape routes. Estates in Midrand and Centurion often set rules on keypad and smart locks at the front door. Warehouses in Isando, Jet Park and Wadeville want heavy roller door lock bars and padlock hasps, and gun owners need a SANS 953-1 safe.
Locks and keys in Gauteng
Few places in the country put as many locks on one property as Gauteng. A typical Johannesburg or Pretoria house has a security gate in front of the front door, a slam lock on the pedestrian gate, burglar bars and a padlocked garage, while townhouse complexes in Midrand and Centurion add a guardhouse, a gate remote and body corporate rules on what you may fit. Older homes in Parkhurst, Brooklyn and Kensington still carry lever mortice locks from decades back. Mobile locksmiths work every suburb from a bakkie, and most take after-hours lockouts. Highveld dust grits up gate locks in the dry winter, and insurers often ask for 5 lever locks on outside doors after a claim.
The requests we see from Gauteng usually come from:
- Homeowners: a closer on the door from the garage to the house so it never stays open
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: closers on the pedestrian gate and stairwell fire doors of a block of flats
- Offices, shops and practices: closers on office, shop and kitchen doors to keep air conditioning in and doors latched
