Student houses in Die Boord, Mostertsdrift and around Victoria Street mostly use cylinder locks, so landlords can rekey cheaply between tenants. Historic houses on Dorp Street often keep original locks on thick doors, and owners add a deadbolt or a 5 lever mortice lock without changing the look of the door. Newer homes in Brandwacht and Uniepark commonly have aluminium sliding doors that need a hook bolt lock.
