Up the hill in Kloof, Gillitts and Hillcrest, larger homes on big plots have long driveways, sliding gates and many outside doors, often with a mix of lever and cylinder locks left by different owners. Locksmiths reach the area along the M13 and N3 from Pinetown itself and from Durban, and most take after-hours calls.
