Gqeberha: the houses, the weather and the locksmiths
Gqeberha is spread along Algoa Bay, and the wind that earns it the name of the windy city also drives salt deep into the suburbs. Padlocks, gate locks and cylinder faces in Summerstrand, Humewood and South End corrode within a few seasons, so brass and marine grade stainless steel are worth the extra. The housing ranges from older homes in Walmer and Mill Park with lever locks on timber doors, to complexes in Lorraine and Westering, to large townships in KwaZakhele and Motherwell. Locksmiths work by van across the metro and after hours, and the motor plants and warehouses in Struandale and Markman keep commercial locksmiths busy with master keys and access control.
