East London notes on locksmith services
Holiday homes in Gonubie and Kidd's Beach are often locked up for months, and owners call a locksmith when a padlock or gate lock has seized. Landlords with flats in Quigney and Southernwood rekey between tenants. Government offices in Bhisho and businesses in Qonce sometimes need a master key system, so ask whether the locksmith will travel. Car key programming is done on site for many models.
Locks and keys in East London
On the Buffalo River, East London's houses range from older homes in Vincent, Berea and Selborne with timber doors and lever locks, to sea view houses in Nahoon, Beacon Bay and Gonubie, to flats in Quigney close to the Esplanade. Locksmiths work by van across the city and out to Mdantsane, and a few travel to Qonce and Bhisho for government and business work. Humid, salty air means steel gate locks, padlocks and the hook bolts on sliding doors corrode and stick, especially within sight of the sea. Holiday homes left empty for months often need a locksmith before the owners can get in, because a padlock or gate lock has seized.
The requests we see from East London usually come from:
- Homeowners: rekeying every outside door after moving in so old keys stop working
- Offices, shops and practices: office and shop locks rekeyed when a staff member leaves with keys
