Smart, gate & security in Upington: local notes
Smart and keypad locks need shade here; fierce heat drains batteries and can warp plastic parts, so keep a key backup. Businesses in town fit card readers and maglocks with battery backup for load shedding. Farms along the river keep firearms in SANS 953-1 safes bolted down, and gate locks need dry lubricant to cope with blowing sand.
Upington: the houses, the weather and the locksmiths
Upington sits on the Orange River in the Kalahari, far from the next big city, so locksmiths here cover huge distances and specialised parts can take time to arrive. The town has older homes near the centre, newer suburbs and Paballelo, while vineyards and raisin farms along the river at Keimoes, Kakamas and Kanoneiland need gate locks, padlocks on packsheds and stores, and gun safes. Summer heat is among the highest in the country, which drains smart and keypad lock batteries and warps cheap plastic parts. Wind blows fine sand into gate locks and padlocks, so a closed shackle and dry lubricant help. Locksmiths usually reach town suburbs quickly, but farm trips need planning.
The requests we see from Upington usually come from:
- Homeowners: a keypad safe bolted inside a bedroom cupboard for cash, passports and jewellery
- Farms and smallholdings: a SANS 953-1 rifle safe bolted in the farmhouse for hunting and vermin rifles
- Offices, shops and practices: a deposit safe in the back office so staff drop takings without opening it
