Securing doors and gates in Northern Cape
Distance decides almost every lock job in the Northern Cape. Kimberley and Upington have locksmiths and hardware stores, and Kathu, Springbok and De Aar have a few smaller trades, but a farmhouse near Carnarvon or a guest farm off the N14 may be hours from the nearest key machine. That makes spare keys, keyed alike padlocks and a spare cylinder in the drawer more useful here than almost anywhere. Kimberley's older suburbs still have early twentieth century houses with heavy timber doors and lever mortice locks, and mining towns like Kathu and Postmasburg add company housing and rented units. Sun bleaches and cracks plastic keypads, and Kalahari sand gets into every exposed keyway.
