Securing doors and gates in Randburg
Two kinds of property dominate Randburg. Freestanding houses from the 1950s to the 1970s in Linden, Blairgowrie, Ferndale and Darrenwood have timber doors, steel window frames and lever locks that are now well worn, and owners often discover the same key opens front, back and garage. Sectional title complexes in Bromhof, Sundowner and Olivedale share gates, remotes and a body corporate that decides on common property locks. Shops on 4th Avenue in Linden and along Bram Fischer Drive use roller shutters and padlocks. Locksmiths and key cutters are based in Ferndale, Strijdom Park and Northcliff, close enough that most lockouts are reached quickly, though the after-hours rate usually applies at night and on weekends.
The requests we see from Randburg 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
