Houses in Linden, Robindale and Fontainebleau often still have 2 or 3 lever locks on outside doors, and an insurer asking for 5 lever locks is a common reason to change them. Steel framed back doors in Blairgowrie may need a rim deadbolt rather than a mortice lock. Units in Bromhof and Olivedale have aluminium sliders that benefit from a bottom bolt, and shops on 4th Avenue fit shutter padlocks.

Two kinds of property dominate Randburg. Freestanding houses from the 1950s to the 1970s in Linden, Blairgowrie, Ferndale and Darrenwood have timber doors, steel window frames and lever locks that are now well worn, and owners often discover the same key opens front, back and garage.

Shops on 4th Avenue in Linden and along Bram Fischer Drive use roller shutters and padlocks.
