Mobile Locksmith in Glenhazel
Glenhazel is a settled family suburb on a hillside, with Northfield Avenue running through it and a park down in the valley. At Mobile Locksmith Johannesburg, we're a fully mobile locksmith service, which means nobody has to drive anywhere: the technician comes to your front door, your cluster unit or your car in the street. Glenhazel and the small areas around it, Fairmount, Percelia Estate and Viewcrest, are all part of our mobile locksmith service across Johannesburg.

Up the hill or down near the park?
Wikipedia describes Glenhazel as lying on a sloping hill with a park in the valley, and that slope is useful when you're giving directions. A few reference points that are mapped on OpenStreetMap:
- Northfield Avenue, the main through-road in the suburb;
- Long Avenue, a residential street inside Glenhazel;
- Glenhazel Park and Glenhazel Primary School, if you live close to either;
- George Avenue and Durham Street, which pass through Fairmount on the southern side.
If your stand has a pedestrian gate on one street and a driveway on another, tell us which one you'd like us to use.
Fairmount, Percelia Estate and Viewcrest
The 2011 Census split this corner of Johannesburg into several small sub-places. Glenhazel itself had 2,991 residents on about 1.3 km². Fairmount had 1,074, Percelia Estate 930 and Viewcrest only 97. Percelia Estate is the part with the Randjeslaagte Reservoir on its edge. We treat all four as one area, so if your address says Fairmount or Percelia Estate, this is your page.
Established houses, clusters and secure flats
MyProperty's area guide describes Glenhazel as a mix of well-established houses, cluster developments and secure apartment complexes. Each one goes wrong in its own way:
| Home | Typical call |
|---|---|
| Freestanding house | A worn front-door deadlock, a security gate that sticks, a garage or kitchen door nobody has a key for anymore |
| Cluster unit | Locked out with the remote and keys inside; a unit door lock that only turns with a shove |
| Apartment | A front door that latches behind you; a body corporate asking for a particular lock |
Most of these are fixed with a lock repair. Where the lock is worn out, we'll quote for a replacement instead.
A busy household means a lot of keys
In a big family home, keys get lent out, left at school or lost with a handbag. When you no longer know who has a key, changing the locks on the outside doors and security gates is the safe answer. We fit new locks with their own keys. We don't cut extra keys, so plan how many you need when you choose the lock. Our guide to padlocks for security gates and burglar bars is worth reading if your gates use padlocks too.
If someone has broken in
Phone SAPS first and get a case number. Take photos of the damaged door, frame and lock before anything is moved, because your insurer will probably ask for them. Then we can come and make the house lockable again, whether that means a new lock, a new cylinder or repairs to the striker and keep. See break-in repairs.
What it costs
The call-out is R250. The technician assesses the job on site and gives you the price before any work starts. Nothing is done until you agree. When the work is done, you can pay by EFT, cash or card. We're open 24/7, weekends and public holidays included, so you can phone whenever it suits your household.

Yes, both are included on this page, along with Viewcrest. If you're closer to the Sydenham side, see our locksmith in Sydenham page.
