Stellenbosch notes on locksmith services
Lost keys and lockouts peak at the start of each term, when students move into new digs. Letting agents often use a master key system so they can reach every room in a house while each tenant has their own key. Keys are cut at counters in the town centre. Wine estates along the R310 rekey after seasonal staff leave, and some ask for restricted keys that cannot be copied freely.
Locks and keys in Stellenbosch
Thousands of students rent rooms in Stellenbosch, in digs, flats and shared houses in Die Boord, Mostertsdrift and the streets around the campus. That keeps landlords and letting agents busy with rekeying, lost keys and lockouts at the start and end of every year. The old centre, with whitewashed houses on Dorp Street and Church Street, has heavy wooden doors and historic locks that need a careful hand. Around the town, wine estates in Jonkershoek, Devon Valley and along the Helshoogte Pass ask for access control, safes and padlocks for cellars and stores. Locksmiths work from town and from Somerset West, and most take after-hours calls.
Typical master key systems requests in the area come from:
- Landlords and letting agents: each tenant's own key with a master for the agent at a block of flats
- Homeowners: a large house or cottage with a granny flat, one key for the owner
- Schools, clinics, churches and hostels: classroom and office keys for staff, masters for heads and the caretaker
