Steel padlocks rust, gate locks seize and smart lock electronics can fail in damp places, so brass, stainless steel and covered keyways last much longer. The town serves a large farming district: avocado, mango, banana and citrus farms around Letsitele and Politsi need padlocks on stores, gate locks, master keys for packhouses and gun safes for the farmhouse. Holiday cottages in Haenertsburg and Magoebaskloof stand empty for weeks and need solid deadbolts. Nkowankowa and Lenyenye ask for sturdy outside doors and burglar gates. Locksmiths in Tzaneen cover most areas, but mountain and farm trips carry travel charges.
