Locks and keys in East London
On the Buffalo River, East London's houses range from older homes in Vincent, Berea and Selborne with timber doors and lever locks, to sea view houses in Nahoon, Beacon Bay and Gonubie, to flats in Quigney close to the Esplanade. Locksmiths work by van across the city and out to Mdantsane, and a few travel to Qonce and Bhisho for government and business work. Humid, salty air means steel gate locks, padlocks and the hook bolts on sliding doors corrode and stick, especially within sight of the sea. Holiday homes left empty for months often need a locksmith before the owners can get in, because a padlock or gate lock has seized.
Typical safes requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a keypad safe bolted inside a bedroom cupboard for cash, passports and jewellery
- Offices, shops and practices: a deposit safe in the back office so staff drop takings without opening it
- Schools, clinics, churches and hostels: a fire-rated safe for records and a key safe for a school or clinic's spare keys
