East London notes on smart, gate & security
Factories on the West Bank and in Wilsonia ask for access control at staff entrances and lock bars on roller doors. Homes in Beacon Bay and Gonubie add slam locks to pedestrian gates and keypad locks for domestic workers, so a code can be changed without cutting new keys. Gun owners on smallholdings on the edge of the city need a SANS 953-1 safe bolted to a floor or wall.
Securing doors and gates 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:
