Johannesburg Suburbs We Cover

How our area is drawn

Johannesburg is too big for one mobile locksmith to cover honestly, so we've drawn a clear line. Our suburbs sit between the CBD and the northern suburbs: from Melville, Auckland Park and the Linden side in the west, through Parktown, Rosebank and Parkhurst, to Houghton, Norwood, Highlands North and the suburbs either side of Louis Botha Avenue, and out east to Linksfield, Cyrildene and Bruma. We also cover Bedfordview and Edenvale, which are in the City of Ekurhuleni but sit right on Johannesburg's eastern edge.

We use Statistics South Africa's Census 2011 sub-places to define each suburb. Tiny sub-places are folded into a neighbouring suburb's page, which names them.

Names that cause confusion

A few names catch people out. Houghton and Houghton Estate are covered on one page. Melrose and Melrose Arch share a page too. Bramley and Bramley View are next to each other but have separate pages, and our Bramley is the Johannesburg suburb, not the Bramley Park or Bramley North townships further north. If you search for one name and find another, that's usually why.

Not on the list?

Complexes, estates and extensions fall under the suburb they're in. Missing from the list, or sitting right on a boundary? Pick "Other / not sure" on the form or ring us, and we'll confirm before booking.
