Kimberley: the houses, the weather and the locksmiths
Kimberley's older suburbs, especially Belgravia, hold some of the oldest houses in the region, many with original timber doors, heavy mortice locks and keys that are hard to copy. Locksmiths here often fit a new 5 lever lock inside an old door while keeping the period handles. Newer suburbs like Royldene, Hadison Park and Monument Heights ask for security gates, garage locks and access control, while Galeshewe and Roodepan need sturdy doors and burglar gates. Government offices, the university campus and hospitals add master key and access control work. Summer heat is extreme and dust storms are common, so smart lock batteries drain faster and gate locks need dry lubricant. Locksmiths in the city cover most suburbs.
