Lakes in the west and smallholdings in the east give Benoni two very different kinds of lock work. Homes around Homestead Lake, Farrarmere and Lakefield have stoeps, sliding doors onto the garden and boathouses or storerooms that need padlocks. Older flats in Northmead and Benoni Central change tenants often, and landlords keep locksmiths busy with rekeying. East of town, plots in Benoni Agricultural Holdings, Putfontein and Bredell have long driveways, farm gates, outbuildings and workshops, each with its own lock. In Daveyton and Etwatwa, homes rely on deadbolts and padlocked gates. Locksmiths are based in Northmead and Benoni South, and plot visits take more planning, especially after hours.
