Smart, gate & security in Potchefstroom: local notes
Keypad and smart locks are popular in student digs, since codes change when a student leaves and no key needs collecting. University buildings, offices and the military base use card readers and maglocks, with fail-safe locks on escape routes. Families in Baillie Park fit slam locks on pedestrian gates, and farms along the Mooi River need SANS 953-1 gun safes and weld-on gate locks.
Potchefstroom: the houses, the weather and the locksmiths
Students make Potchefstroom a town of keys. Every January and every December, digs and communes near the university change hands, and landlords in Die Bult, Van der Hoff Park and around Tom Street rekey rooms, cut new keys and replace locks students broke or lost. Many rentals are older houses split into rooms, each with a lock on the bedroom door and a shared front door that needs a stronger lock. Families in Baillie Park and the newer estates ask for security gates, smart locks and access control, while Ikageng and Promosa mostly need sturdy outside doors. The military base and farms along the Mooi River add steady work. Locksmiths are in town and usually reach any suburb quickly.
