Securing doors and gates in Mthatha
As the regional centre for a wide spread of rural villages, Mthatha sees many people come into town for keys, padlocks and locks and carry them home. In town, homes in Southernwood, Northcrest and Fort Gale are a mix of older houses and newer family homes with steel security doors, while shops in the CBD rely on roller shutters and heavy padlocks. Government offices, the university, schools and clinics need master keys and door closers. Locksmiths are fewer than in the metros, and a call to a village toward Libode or Mqanduli may need a fixed time. Summer storms and cold inland winters make timber doors swell and shrink, so latches often need adjusting.
