Factories in Rosslyn and Waltloo fit roller door locks and padlock bolts, and gun owners in Garsfontein bolt SANS 953-1 safes to the floor.
Pretoria: the houses, the weather and the locksmiths
Diplomatic missions, government offices and two large universities give Pretoria a lock market unlike anywhere else in Gauteng. Embassy residences in Waterkloof, Brooklyn and Arcadia want high security cylinders, keyed alike sets and careful key control, while departments and institutions around the CBD manage master key systems across hundreds of doors. In Hatfield, Sunnyside and Lynnwood, student digs change tenants every year, so landlords rekey often and fit keypad locks on rooms. Older houses in Muckleneuk and Brooklyn still carry 3 lever locks on heavy timber doors. Locksmiths run from Hatfield, Pretoria West and Silverton and cover the east by bakkie. Many will come out after hours, but ask about the rate first.
Typical safes requests in the area come from:
- Schools, clinics, churches and hostels: a fire-rated safe for records and a key safe for a school or clinic's spare keys
- Landlords and letting agents: a small safe in a holiday let for guests' passports and valuables
- Homeowners: a keypad safe bolted inside a bedroom cupboard for cash, passports and jewellery
