Klerksdorp notes on locksmith services
Landlords renting out houses in Jouberton, Alabama and Stilfontein rekey between tenants, and a locksmith can convert old lever locks to cylinders so one key opens front and back. Mines and engineering shops on the Klerksdorp side ask for master keyed padlocks for stores. Farmers call for safe opening and car key cutting. Ask for the call-out fee and whether Orkney or Hartbeesfontein carries a travel charge.
Klerksdorp: the houses, the weather and the locksmiths
Klerksdorp grew on gold, and many houses in Stilfontein, Orkney and older parts of town were once mine housing, so their doors often still carry original lever locks and worn hinges. Many have been sold on and rented out, and new owners ask for rekeying, better outside locks and burglar bar gates. Wilkoppies, Flamwood and Meiringspark are settled family suburbs where security gates and garage locks are common requests, while maize farms around Hartbeesfontein need gate locks, store padlocks and gun safes. Locksmiths work from Klerksdorp and drive out to the mining towns. The Highveld dust and dry winters clog gate locks, so keep keyways clean and use a dry lubricant rather than oil.
Typical emergency locksmith requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a lockout at the front door, lost keys or a lock forced in a break-in
- Landlords and letting agents: tenants locked out at night, and locks changed the same day after lost keys
- Farms and smallholdings: a farmhouse lockout or a store lock that failed miles from the nearest town
