Upington: the houses, the weather and the locksmiths
Upington sits on the Orange River in the Kalahari, far from the next big city, so locksmiths here cover huge distances and specialised parts can take time to arrive. The town has older homes near the centre, newer suburbs and Paballelo, while vineyards and raisin farms along the river at Keimoes, Kakamas and Kanoneiland need gate locks, padlocks on packsheds and stores, and gun safes. Summer heat is among the highest in the country, which drains smart and keypad lock batteries and warps cheap plastic parts. Wind blows fine sand into gate locks and padlocks, so a closed shackle and dry lubricant help. Locksmiths usually reach town suburbs quickly, but farm trips need planning.
