Mobile Locksmith in Rembrandt Park
Rembrandt Park sits in the curve of the N3 on the eastern edge of our area, and most people here live in townhouse complexes, with freehold houses in between. At Mobile Locksmith Johannesburg, we're a fully mobile locksmith service: we don't have a shop, so the technician comes to your complex or house, any time of day. It's part of our mobile locksmith in Johannesburg coverage, right next to Corlett Gardens.

Townhouse living: whose lock is it?
At the 2011 Census, Rembrandt Park had 2,382 residents in 781 households. One local guide describes the suburb as "dominated mostly by townhouse complex living". In a complex, the first question on any call-out is who the lock belongs to:
| Lock | Usually decided by |
|---|---|
| Your unit's front, back and patio doors | You (or your landlord if you rent) |
| Your own garage door | You, unless the conduct rules say otherwise |
| Pedestrian gate, main gate, refuse area | The body corporate or managing agent |
Check your scheme's rules before a lock is changed. Our sectional title lock guide covers what to ask the trustees.
Getting through the complex gate
Many complexes have a guard at night or an intercom at the gate. Before we arrive, let security know a locksmith is coming and give us the complex name, the unit number and how a visitor is let in. If you're locked out, ask a neighbour or the guard to let us in at the gate so the technician can get straight to your door.
Finding the right street
Modderfontein Road runs along the suburb and is the easiest road to give as a reference. Inside, a lot of the streets are named after scientists, such as Curie Road, Pasteur Road, Jenner Road, Lister Road and Fleming Street, which helps when you're describing where you are. The Rembrandt Park Primary School and the convenience centre on Jersey Street are two other landmarks.
Dorelan, a tiny census area at the corner of Modderfontein Road and Pretoria Road with nobody living in it in 2011, is covered on this page as well.
Common jobs here
- A unit door that was pulled shut with the keys inside: emergency lockouts.
- A pedestrian gate lock that won't catch, leaving the complex open: see pedestrian gate lock problems.
- A multipoint lock on a newer door that no longer engages properly: multipoint lock checks.
- New tenants moving in and the owner wanting fresh cylinders: lock replacement.
Costs
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. You can pay by EFT, cash or card.

Rembrandt Park: questions customers ask
Who pays to fix the complex's main pedestrian gate?
Usually the body corporate, because it's common property. Ask the managing agent or a trustee to authorise the work.
Will you damage my door to get me in?
We try non-destructive entry first, and you're told before anything is done that would damage the lock. We'll ask for proof that you live there.
Can I get a few extra keys cut while you're there?
No, we don't cut keys. A new lock or cylinder comes with its own set.
