What to know locally in Free State
Factories near Sasolburg and in Bloemdustria and Hamilton fit card access, maglocks with battery backup and heavy roller door lock bars. Estates on the edges of Bloemfontein run gate keypads and tag readers. Farms around Harrismith and Ficksburg want SANS 953-1 gun safes bolted to a slab and slam locks on yard gates. Frost can stiffen a keypad or gate lock, so ask for hardware rated for outdoor use.
Free State: the houses, the weather and the locksmiths
Much of the Free State's lock work runs through Bloemfontein, where locksmiths and hardware suppliers serve suburbs like Westdene, Universitas and Langenhoven Park, the student houses near the university and the offices and courts in the city centre. Welkom, Kroonstad and Bethlehem each have their own trades, and from there call-outs go to grain and cattle farms, small dorps and the guest houses of Clarens. Older sandstone and face-brick houses often still use 3 lever mortice locks that insurers may want upgraded on outside doors. Winter frost can stiffen a gate lock overnight, and summer hail batters exposed padlocks. On farms, a closed shackle padlock and keyed alike sets for stores and gates save a lot of fumbling.
Typical magnetic door locks requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a maglock on the pedestrian gate, opened from the house with an intercom button
- Farms and smallholdings: a sealed maglock on the gate to the farmhouse yard, opened from the kitchen
- Landlords and letting agents: maglocks on the shared entrance of a block of flats, held through load shedding by a battery
