Securing doors and gates in Welkom
Welkom was planned around the Free State goldfields, and its wide streets, traffic circles and rows of mine-era houses still define the town. Many of those houses in Riebeeckstad, Flamingo Park, Doorn and Bedelia are now owned by private landlords, so rekeying, lock replacement and burglar gates between tenants are everyday work. Thabong, Odendaalsrus and Virginia need sturdy outside doors and padlocks. Mines and engineering shops still ask for master key systems and heavy padlocks for stores. Some houses stand empty for months, and owners want them secured with strong deadbolts and padlocks. Locksmiths in Welkom cover most of the goldfields towns.
