Shift work sets the rhythm in Secunda. Plant operators and contractors come and go at all hours, so lockouts at odd times, lost keys on the way home from a night shift and car keys for bakkies are everyday calls. Planned suburbs in Secunda and Trichardt have rows of similar houses, many of them rented, and landlords rekey often when contractors leave after a shutdown. Embalenhle has a mix of older homes and newer extensions, often with security gates added over the years. Locksmiths work from town and Evander and usually reach most suburbs quickly, though after-hours rates apply. Highveld storms and dry winters are hard on gate locks, so ask for covered padlocks and keep keyways dry.
