Wind, distance and a long coastline set the terms for locks in the Eastern Cape. Gqeberha and East London have the most locksmiths, many working from vans across suburbs like Walmer, Newton Park, Vincent and Beacon Bay, and the car plants and component factories there keep access control installers busy. Holiday houses in Jeffreys Bay, St Francis Bay and Port Alfred stand locked for months, so their sliding door locks and padlocks have to resist salt and forced entry alike. Inland, Makhanda's nineteenth century houses and the Karoo towns of Graaff-Reinet and Cradock still have heavy timber doors with lever locks. Mthatha has its own trades serving the former Transkei, where a rural call-out may mean a long drive.
