Pinetown notes on door locks & handles
Houses in Kloof, Everton and Waterfall often have several outside doors, and owners usually want them all on 5 lever mortice locks or matching cylinders. Townhouse complexes in Hillcrest and Gillitts mostly use cylinder locks with a lever handle, so a keyed alike set is easy to arrange. In Westmead and New Germany, yards and containers are closed with closed shackle padlocks, which resist bolt cutters better than open ones.
Locks and keys in Pinetown
Pinetown is part factory town, part hillside suburb. Down in New Germany, Westmead and Mahogany Ridge, warehouses and workshops need roller door locks, padlocks on yards and access control at staff entrances. 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. The mist and heavy summer rain on the ridges mean outside locks rust and timber frames swell, so latches that stick or will not catch are a regular call here.
Typical padlocks requests in the area come from:
- Factories, warehouses and workshops: keyed alike padlocks on containers, cages, valves and yard gates
- Homeowners: padlocks for the garage door, garden shed, side gate and a trailer hitch
- Offices, shops and practices: discus padlocks on roller shutters, back gates and storage containers
