Not every Corlett Drive address is here
The suburb and Corlett Drive are both named after the same man, D.F. Corlett, but the road is long. It runs west all the way to Louis Botha Avenue, through several other suburbs. So "Corlett Drive" on its own isn't enough. In Corlett Gardens itself, the useful reference roads are Canning Road and Pretoria Road, with residential streets such as Louw Street, Da Costa Road, River Close and Rocky Place in between.
The housing mix
- Sectional title complexes: over 500 apartments and townhouses, according to Seeff. Listings mention secure, pet-friendly complexes with a night guard.
- Cluster homes: almost 50.
- Freestanding houses: just over 100.
In 2011 the census counted 2,235 people in 759 households on just over half a square kilometre.
If you live in a complex
Most homes in Corlett Gardens are behind a complex gate, so a little preparation helps:
- Send us the complex name and unit number, and how visitors get in.
- If it's late, let the night guard know a locksmith is coming.
- If it's a shared gate or door that's faulty, get a trustee or the managing agent to approve the job.

Dunsevern, Formain and Rembrandt Ridge
Three very small census areas are covered here. Dunsevern (609 residents in 2011) lies along Lane Road and Pretoria Road. Formain (135 residents) is a sliver around Drome Road and Link Road. Rembrandt Ridge (136 residents) is the pocket around Adriana Avenue and Caron Street.
How it works
We'll ask for proof that you live at the address, then try to open the door without damage. R250 call-out fee. The technician assesses the job on site and gives you the price before any work starts. Nothing is done until you agree. Pay by EFT, cash or card.

Corlett Gardens: questions customers ask
My key turns but the townhouse door won't open. What's wrong?
It could be a worn lock, a broken part inside, or a door that has moved and is binding on the latch. Don't force it. We'll diagnose it on site and explain the options. See lock repairs.
Can I change my unit's lock myself, or do I need permission?
Your unit door is usually yours to change, but some schemes specify the lock type, and landlords often want a key. Check first. Upgrading an apartment front-door lock explains what to ask.
Do you also do car keys?
Yes. Car lockouts and car key problems are a normal service: see car locksmith.
