Stellenbosch: the houses, the weather and the locksmiths
Thousands of students rent rooms in Stellenbosch, in digs, flats and shared houses in Die Boord, Mostertsdrift and the streets around the campus. That keeps landlords and letting agents busy with rekeying, lost keys and lockouts at the start and end of every year. The old centre, with whitewashed houses on Dorp Street and Church Street, has heavy wooden doors and historic locks that need a careful hand. Around the town, wine estates in Jonkershoek, Devon Valley and along the Helshoogte Pass ask for access control, safes and padlocks for cellars and stores. Locksmiths work from town and from Somerset West, and most take after-hours calls.
Typical door closers requests in the area come from:
- Landlords and letting agents: closers on the shared entrance and fire doors of a rental block, checked between tenants
- Homeowners: a closer on the door from the garage to the house so it never stays open
- Schools, clinics, churches and hostels: closers on every classroom, ward and fire door in a school, clinic or hostel

Common here: student digs rekeying, lockouts, old Dorp Street locks and wine estate access. Ask each locksmith or supplier about this: ask whether rooms can be rekeyed between tenants instead of fitting new locks. Where they work from: the town centre and Plankenbrug, with locksmiths also from Somerset West.
Door Closers usually suits office, shop, school, fire and gate doors, and works like this: hydraulic arm shuts and latches the door.

On the weather side: hot, dry summers and wet winters move old timber doors; latches need adjusting.
