Dunkeld, Dunkeld West or Craighall Park?
People use these names loosely, and property listings don't always agree. According to Seeff, Dunkeld West straddles both sides of Jan Smuts Avenue. The census area called Dunkeld lies on the eastern side, with Bompas Road along its northern edge and Oxford Road on the east. On the census map, the part west of Jan Smuts falls in Craighall Park.
For a locksmith, the label doesn't matter. We cover all three. What helps is your street number and the nearest cross street, plus which side of Jan Smuts you're on. That saves a U-turn on a busy road.
A few hundred houses and some upmarket blocks
Dunkeld is small: 1,473 residents on 1.38 km² at the 2011 Census. Seeff counts fewer than 200 houses, 142 sectional title properties and several upmarket apartment buildings. That's two quite different kinds of call:
- Houses tend to have a front door with a security gate, a garage or kitchen door, and often sliding or French doors onto the garden. Larger modern doors frequently use multipoint locks, which can stop engaging when the door drops slightly. Our guide to a multipoint lock that won't engage lists what you can safely check yourself.
- Apartments usually mean a building entrance, a lift and a unit door. If you're stuck outside the unit, see locked out of a flat or complex and let the building's security know we're coming.
Thinking about a keypad or smart lock?
Some owners in bigger homes want to stop handing out keys to staff, contractors and family. Keypad and smart locks can help, but not every door suits one, and power and battery backup matter. Read what to know before buying a smart lock, then ask us to look at the door. We can fit a new lock and quote for it on site. See lock replacement.
What to expect
You'll get a price before anything is done. The technician assesses the job on site and gives you the price before any work starts. Nothing is done until you agree. There's an R250 call-out, and you can pay by EFT, cash or card. On a lockout we ask for proof that you live there, and we always try non-destructive entry first.
