Secunda notes on smart, gate & security
Contractor companies and smaller engineering firms in the Secunda industrial area put tag readers and maglocks on stores and offices, with battery backup for load shedding. Homes in Trichardt add slam locks to gates and lock bars to garage doors, because motorised doors cannot be relied on when the power is off. Keypad locks suit rentals well: the code changes when tenants leave and no keys go missing.
Locks and keys in Secunda
Shift work sets the rhythm in Secunda. Plant operators and contractors come and go at all hours, so lockouts at odd times, lost keys on the way home from a night shift and car keys for bakkies are everyday calls. Planned suburbs in Secunda and Trichardt have rows of similar houses, many of them rented, and landlords rekey often when contractors leave after a shutdown. Embalenhle has a mix of older homes and newer extensions, often with security gates added over the years. Locksmiths work from town and Evander and usually reach most suburbs quickly, though after-hours rates apply. Highveld storms and dry winters are hard on gate locks, so ask for covered padlocks and keep keyways dry.
