Locks and keys in George
Rain falls through the year in George, the main town of the Garden Route, set on a plateau below the Outeniqua mountains. Damp air keeps timber doors swelling and steel hardware rusting, so latches that stick and gate locks that seize are common calls. Homes range from older houses in George central and Denneoord to golf and lifestyle estates on the edge of town with their own gate rules and access control. Guest houses and holiday homes at Wilderness and Herold's Bay change guests often, so rekeying and keypad locks are popular. Locksmiths work from town and cover Wilderness, Pacaltsdorp and Thembalethu, with after-hours call-outs available.
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
- 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
