Cape Town notes on door locks & handles
Victorian cottages in Woodstock, Observatory and the Bo-Kaap often keep old rim locks or lever locks on their front doors, and owners usually add a cylinder deadbolt rather than change the original. Flats in Sea Point and Green Point use cylinder locks behind a security gate, best in brass or stainless steel near the sea. In Pinelands and Constantia, aluminium sliding doors need a narrow lock case and a bottom bolt.
