Richards Bay notes on door locks & handles
Homes in Meerensee and Arboretum often have aluminium sliding doors onto the garden, and the hook bolt locks on them corrode and stop catching in the salt air. A stainless steel lock case and a bottom bolt help a lot. Flats near the CBD mostly use cylinder locks behind a security gate. Contractors' yards in Alton North use closed shackle brass padlocks, which last longer near the sea than plated steel.
Locks and keys in Richards Bay
Richards Bay grew up around the harbour and heavy industry, so many homes in Meerensee, Arboretum and Birdswood were built for families of plant staff, with face-brick walls, sliding doors to the garden and a gate onto the street. Contractors working shutdowns rent flats and rooms, which keeps landlords busy with rekeying. Locksmiths work from Richards Bay and Empangeni and cover both towns, with after-hours lockouts usually handled the same night. Heat, humidity and salt air from the harbour and lagoon are hard on hardware: padlocks, gate locks and garage door locks pit and seize. Industrial sites in Alton need restricted key systems and access control that keeps out people who should not be there.
The requests we see from Richards Bay usually come from:
- Factories, warehouses and workshops: heavy handle sets on workshop and office doors that are opened all day long
- Homeowners: matched lever handles with locks on the front, back and bedroom doors of a house
- Landlords and letting agents: sturdy handle sets that survive tenants and take a new lock without new holes
