Free State: the houses, the weather and the locksmiths
Much of the Free State's lock work runs through Bloemfontein, where locksmiths and hardware suppliers serve suburbs like Westdene, Universitas and Langenhoven Park, the student houses near the university and the offices and courts in the city centre. Welkom, Kroonstad and Bethlehem each have their own trades, and from there call-outs go to grain and cattle farms, small dorps and the guest houses of Clarens. Older sandstone and face-brick houses often still use 3 lever mortice locks that insurers may want upgraded on outside doors. Winter frost can stiffen a gate lock overnight, and summer hail batters exposed padlocks. On farms, a closed shackle padlock and keyed alike sets for stores and gates save a lot of fumbling.
Typical gate locks requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a slam lock on the front security gate keyed alike with the door behind it
- Farms and smallholdings: padlock bolts on camp and yard gates, and a slam lock on the farmhouse security gate
- Landlords and letting agents: gate locks replaced between tenants so old keys stop opening the security gate
