Victorian cottages in Woodstock, Observatory and Wynberg have timber doors with lever mortice locks and rim night latches. Flats in Sea Point and Green Point mostly use cylinder locks that are quick to rekey between tenants. Complexes in Parklands, Durbanville and Somerset West have aluminium sliders that need a hook bolt and a bar in the track, and homes in Hermanus and Kommetjie do better with brass or stainless hardware.

Victorian cottages in Woodstock and Observatory, sectional title flats in Sea Point and Green Point, and newer complexes in Parklands, Durbanville and Somerset West all sit within one metro, and each asks for different lock work. Old timber doors take lever mortice locks and rim night latches, flats need rekeying when tenants and short stay guests change, and complexes run gate remotes and keypad access. Beyond the city, Stellenbosch, Paarl and Worcester serve wine farms and student housing, and George and Knysna cover the Garden Route. Mobile locksmiths work the whole metro, often after hours. The south easter carries salt spray well inland, and winter rain swells timber doors until the latch no longer catches.
