Mobile Locksmith in Savoy Estate

Two small suburbs, one page

Savoy Estate became a suburb in 1948 on part of the old Syferfontein farm. Gresswold, on the other side of Louis Botha Avenue, was proclaimed in 1953. They're about the same size: at the 2011 Census, Savoy Estate had 1,532 residents in 540 households and Gresswold 1,442 residents in 499 households.

For directions, the Shoprite on Grenville Avenue and Savoy Estate Park are easy reference points on the Savoy side. On the Gresswold side, give us the street (Packwood, Newick, Hathaway or Lapworth Road, for example) and the nearest corner.

Lock trouble in a family home

Agents describe the area as traditional family homes alongside some newer, more secure properties. With children, domestic workers and visitors all coming and going, the usual calls are:

• the security gate in front of the kitchen door won't unlock, or the key turns but nothing moves;
• someone has lost a key and you want to know who can still get in;
• a deadlock on the front door that has to be forced.

When keys go missing, changing the cylinders on the doors that matter is often enough. See lock replacement. For padlocks on gates and burglar bars, choosing the right padlock is worth reading first.

Names that can mislead

Two things confuse visitors here. "Estate" makes people expect a guardhouse; here it's simply part of the suburb's 1948 name, so unless your own street or complex has a boom, a street address is all we need. And the Bramley post office is actually on the Gresswold side, so a "Bramley" address isn't always where a driver expects it to be. A cross street sorts both out.

The visit

The technician checks that you live there before opening anything and starts with non-destructive methods. The technician assesses the job on site and gives you the price before any work starts. Nothing is done until you agree. R250 call-out fee. Pay by EFT, cash or card.
