Distance defines the trade in Polokwane, the hub for much of Limpopo: locksmiths here often travel far beyond the city to serve towns, farms and villages that have no locksmith of their own. In the city, Bendor, Flora Park, Fauna Park and Ster Park are settled suburbs with security gates, garage doors and estates using access control, while Seshego and Mankweng have growing numbers of rentals and student rooms near the university. Businesses in the CBD and the Ladanna industrial area need shopfront locks, safes and master keys. After-hours lockouts are usually covered in the city. Summer heat is intense, so smart and keypad lock batteries need checking more often, and dust gets into gate locks in the dry winter.
