Gauteng: the houses, the weather and the locksmiths
Few places in the country put as many locks on one property as Gauteng. A typical Johannesburg or Pretoria house has a security gate in front of the front door, a slam lock on the pedestrian gate, burglar bars and a padlocked garage, while townhouse complexes in Midrand and Centurion add a guardhouse, a gate remote and body corporate rules on what you may fit. Older homes in Parkhurst, Brooklyn and Kensington still carry lever mortice locks from decades back. Mobile locksmiths work every suburb from a bakkie, and most take after-hours lockouts. Highveld dust grits up gate locks in the dry winter, and insurers often ask for 5 lever locks on outside doors after a claim.
Typical master key systems requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a large house or cottage with a granny flat, one key for the owner
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: unit keys for residents and a master for the body corporate and caretaker
- Offices, shops and practices: office keys for staff and one master for the manager and the cleaners
