Smart, gate & security in Johannesburg: local notes
Office blocks and residences in Braamfontein and the CBD rely on access control with tags at the lobby, a maglock on the glass door, an exit button and a break glass unit for fire escape. Keep a battery backup so the doors behave during load shedding. Houses in Melville and Northcliff with long driveways want slam locks on pedestrian gates and lock bars on tip up garage doors, and gun owners in Linden bolt a SANS 953-1 safe into place.
Securing doors and gates in Johannesburg
Older Johannesburg suburbs such as Melville, Parkview, Kensington and Observatory are full of houses built before the 1960s, many still on their original 2 or 3 lever mortice locks behind a steel security gate added decades later. Closer to the centre, in Hillbrow, Berea and Braamfontein, the doors belong to flats, student residences and converted office blocks, where landlords deal with tenant turnover, lost keys and lobby tags. Mobile locksmiths work the city from bases in the CBD, Booysens and Auckland Park, and after-hours lockouts are a steady part of their day. When a policy comes up for renewal, insurers often ask for 5 lever locks on outside doors, so an older house is a good place to start with a walk round.
