Klerksdorp notes on door locks & handles
Former mine houses in Stilfontein and Orkney often have tired 2 or 3 lever mortice locks on outside doors; a new 5 lever lock in the same cut out is the usual fix. In Wilkoppies and Flamwood, double doors and sliders get bottom bolts and better cylinders. Grain stores and sheds around Hartbeesfontein use heavy padlocks with a closed shackle, which suits the dust and keeps bolt cutters off.
Klerksdorp: the houses, the weather and the locksmiths
Klerksdorp grew on gold, and many houses in Stilfontein, Orkney and older parts of town were once mine housing, so their doors often still carry original lever locks and worn hinges. Many have been sold on and rented out, and new owners ask for rekeying, better outside locks and burglar bar gates. Wilkoppies, Flamwood and Meiringspark are settled family suburbs where security gates and garage locks are common requests, while maize farms around Hartbeesfontein need gate locks, store padlocks and gun safes. Locksmiths work from Klerksdorp and drive out to the mining towns. The Highveld dust and dry winters clog gate locks, so keep keyways clean and use a dry lubricant rather than oil.
