Damp air keeps timber doors swelling and steel hardware rusting, so latches that stick and gate locks that seize are common calls. Homes range from older houses in George central and Denneoord to golf and lifestyle estates on the edge of town with their own gate rules and access control. Guest houses and holiday homes at Wilderness and Herold's Bay change guests often, so rekeying and keypad locks are popular.
