Newcastle notes on locksmith services
Factories and workshops in the Newcastle industrial area often book rekeying after staff leave, or a master key system so supervisors carry one key. House keys and padlock keys are cut at counters in the CBD. Lockouts in Madadeni and Osizweni are usually handled by locksmiths from town, so ask about travel costs. Auto locksmiths can program bakkie keys for farms toward Utrecht.
Securing doors and gates in Newcastle
Steel works, factories and engineering shops fill one side of Newcastle, with spread out suburbs and townships on the other. Many houses in Arbor Park, Hutten Heights and Pioneer Park are face-brick homes from the 1970s and 1980s, often still on their original 3 lever locks. Madadeni and Osizweni are large areas with many newer homes, where steel security doors and padlocked gates are common. Locksmiths work from town and travel the N11 to Utrecht, Dannhauser and the farms, so call-outs outside town take longer. Winters are cold and dry, and dust from the veld and the industrial areas clogs gate locks, which need dry graphite rather than oil.
