Locks and keys in Western Cape
Victorian cottages in Woodstock and Observatory, sectional title flats in Sea Point and Green Point, and newer complexes in Parklands, Durbanville and Somerset West all sit within one metro, and each asks for different lock work. Old timber doors take lever mortice locks and rim night latches, flats need rekeying when tenants and short stay guests change, and complexes run gate remotes and keypad access. Beyond the city, Stellenbosch, Paarl and Worcester serve wine farms and student housing, and George and Knysna cover the Garden Route. Mobile locksmiths work the whole metro, often after hours. The south easter carries salt spray well inland, and winter rain swells timber doors until the latch no longer catches.
Typical smart door locks requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a smart lock on the front door so family and the domestic worker each get a code
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: a smart lock on a unit door, with the body corporate gate still on its own remote
- Landlords and letting agents: a smart lock on a rental or holiday let so guest codes expire when they check out
