Richards Bay: the houses, the weather and the locksmiths
Richards Bay grew up around the harbour and heavy industry, so many homes in Meerensee, Arboretum and Birdswood were built for families of plant staff, with face-brick walls, sliding doors to the garden and a gate onto the street. Contractors working shutdowns rent flats and rooms, which keeps landlords busy with rekeying. Locksmiths work from Richards Bay and Empangeni and cover both towns, with after-hours lockouts usually handled the same night. Heat, humidity and salt air from the harbour and lagoon are hard on hardware: padlocks, gate locks and garage door locks pit and seize. Industrial sites in Alton need restricted key systems and access control that keeps out people who should not be there.
