What to know locally in Randburg
Older houses in Darrenwood and Ferndale often run on one key for every door, so new owners ask for a full rekey and a separate key for the garage and staff quarters. Complex owners in Sundowner rekey after a tenant leaves. Key cutters in Ferndale and Strijdom Park copy house keys while you wait, but cut from the original, as a copy of a copy may not turn smoothly.
Randburg: the houses, the weather and the locksmiths
Two kinds of property dominate Randburg. Freestanding houses from the 1950s to the 1970s in Linden, Blairgowrie, Ferndale and Darrenwood have timber doors, steel window frames and lever locks that are now well worn, and owners often discover the same key opens front, back and garage. Sectional title complexes in Bromhof, Sundowner and Olivedale share gates, remotes and a body corporate that decides on common property locks. Shops on 4th Avenue in Linden and along Bram Fischer Drive use roller shutters and padlocks. Locksmiths and key cutters are based in Ferndale, Strijdom Park and Northcliff, close enough that most lockouts are reached quickly, though the after-hours rate usually applies at night and on weekends.
Typical key cutting requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: spare front door, security gate and garage keys for every person in the house
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: extra unit and pedestrian gate keys for residents, cut from the original
- Offices, shops and practices: spare keys for staff, cut from originals and recorded in a key register
