Centurion notes on door locks & handles
Newer homes in Midstream, Copperleaf and Thatchfield have wide aluminium sliding and stacking doors, and the factory hook bolts are often the weakest point, so owners add a bottom bolt or a narrow case lock with a stronger keep. Older houses in Lyttelton Manor and Clubview still have timber doors with lever locks. Townhouses in Wierdapark and Rooihuiskraal fit a deadbolt above the handle on the kitchen door, the one most often left unlocked.
Centurion: the houses, the weather and the locksmiths
Estate living shapes almost every lock job in Centurion. Homeowners in Midstream, Copperleaf, Southdowns and Eldoraigne live behind a manned gate, so the front door is often secondary to the patio sliders, the garage interleading door and the keys handed to domestic staff and contractors. Sectional title complexes in Highveld, Die Hoewes and Rooihuiskraal have body corporate rules on gate remotes, intercoms and who may change a lock on common property. Office parks around the Centurion CBD and Highveld Techno Park run card readers and master keyed suites. Locksmiths travel in from Lyttelton, Hennopspark and Pretoria, and the estate guardhouse usually needs their name and vehicle in advance, even for an after-hours lockout.
Typical sliding door locks requests in the area come from:
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: replacement sliding locks on ground floor units that match the complex's frames
- Homeowners: a stronger hook lock and a bottom bolt on the patio slider facing the garden
- Offices, shops and practices: secure locks on sliding doors to courtyards, showrooms and restaurant patios
