North West notes on smart, gate & security
Estates around Hartbeespoort Dam and Kosmos run gate access with tags or keypads and often set rules on garage and front door hardware. Mining offices in Rustenburg and Brits use card readers and maglocks that need battery backup through load shedding. Farms near Lichtenburg and Vryburg fit sliding gate locks, garage lock bars and SANS 953-1 gun safes bolted to a floor slab. Use dry lubricant on gate locks in the dust.
North West: the houses, the weather and the locksmiths
Platinum built much of Rustenburg, Brits and Mooinooi, and the housing shows it: company houses, rented flats and newer complexes where tenants come and go and landlords rekey between leases. Hartbeespoort adds weekend houses and estates around the dam that stand locked up during the week, while Potchefstroom and Mahikeng have student digs and government offices with long corridors of doors on master key systems. West of Lichtenburg the province opens into maize and cattle country, where farmhouses, stores and diesel tanks rely on heavy padlocks and chain. Locksmiths are based in the bigger towns and travel to farms by appointment. Dust off the veld clogs gate locks, so ask for a dry lubricant, not oil.
