KwaZulu-Natal notes on smart, gate & security
Estates in Zimbali, Mount Edgecombe and Simbithi run access with tags, keypads or face readers, and face data is special personal information under POPIA, so ask how it is stored. Coastal gate locks corrode fast, so pick covered keyways and stainless steel. Warehouses in Cornubia and Riverhorse Valley fit roller door lock bars and access control, and farmers near Greytown and Vryheid keep firearms in a SANS 953-1 safe.

From Amanzimtoti to Ballito, steel padlocks, gate locks and cheap plated cylinders pit and stiffen within a season or two, so brass, marine grade stainless steel and covered keyways are worth the extra.
