Embassy residences in Waterkloof, Brooklyn and Arcadia want high security cylinders, keyed alike sets and careful key control, while departments and institutions around the CBD manage master key systems across hundreds of doors. In Hatfield, Sunnyside and Lynnwood, student digs change tenants every year, so landlords rekey often and fit keypad locks on rooms.
