Mobile Locksmith in Linksfield

Linksfield, Linksfield North or Linksfield Ridge?

Three similar names share this part of the city, and people often mix them up when booking:

• Linksfield is the main suburb, with King David Linksfield and Linksfield Primary School.
• Linksfield North is mapped as its own suburb on OpenStreetMap, but in the 2011 Census it falls inside the Linksfield sub-place. This page covers it.
• Linksfield Ridge is the hillside to the south. It has its own page: locksmith in Linksfield Ridge.

If you're not sure which one you're in, the street name is enough. We'll work it out.

A big area with a small population

The census sub-place called Linksfield covers 8.66 km², far more than its neighbours, yet in 2011 it had only 3,696 residents. Most of that space is golf course: the Huddle Park courses and the older private club next to them. For a call-out, that means the route matters. Two houses that look close on a map may be on opposite sides of a course, so please give us the road you turn off, not just the street.

Roads we use to reach you

• Linksfield Road (the M16), with Linksfield Terrace Shopping Centre on it;
• Club Street, which runs from the Sandringham side towards the ridge;
• Civin Drive on the eastern side, and Modderfontein Road at the northern tip;
• Sylvia Pass, the road up to the ridge.

The N3 runs along the eastern edge of the area, which helps if you're calling from a car stuck near an on-ramp.

Keys locked in the car

Shopping centre parking and hospital parking are common places to find yourself outside a locked car. Whether you're at Linksfield Terrace or visiting Netcare Linksfield Hospital, send us your location pin, the car's make, model and year, and whether the key is inside or lost. We'll need to see that the car is yours (licence disc, registration papers or ID) before it's opened. See car locksmith and our guide to lost or broken car keys.

Houses, townhouses and flats

The listings on MyProperty for Linksfield were split evenly between houses, apartments and townhouses when we checked. A house here usually has a security gate in front of the main door and a pedestrian gate at the street. In a complex, the pedestrian gate is shared, which is why it's the body corporate's decision to repair or replace it. Our article on pedestrian gate locks has some safe checks you can do before you call.

What you pay

R250 to come out. A quote on site for the work itself, and nothing starts until you agree. Then EFT, cash or card, whichever is easiest.
