Mobile Locksmith in Victory Park

Houses and sectional title units

MyProperty describes Victory Park as "a mix of traditional freestanding houses and modern sectional title complexes". Founded in 1919 and named for the end of the First World War, it began with several smallholdings, according to Wikipedia. The 2011 Census counted 2,402 residents in 869 households.

The two types of home need slightly different information when you call:

• A house: which door or gate is the problem, and whether there's another way in, such as a back door or garage.
• A complex unit: the complex name, your unit number, and how the guard or intercom lets a visitor in. Our guide to being locked out of a flat or complex unit explains what to arrange before we arrive.

Doors with multipoint locks

Newer front and patio doors often use a multipoint lock, where one handle drives several bolts along the edge of the door. When the door drops a little or the frame shifts, the bolts no longer line up and the handle won't lift or the key won't turn. Don't force it. Our guide to a multipoint lock that won't engage covers the safe checks, and lock repair covers the fix.

Road No. 3, 2nd Avenue and Rustenburg Road

Some streets in Victory Park have numbers rather than names. OpenStreetMap shows a Road No. 3 and a Road No. 5, as well as 2nd and 3rd Avenues, which continue into Linden. De La Salle Holy Cross College has its high school on Road No. 3. If you live on a numbered road, please say "Road No." clearly so we don't head for an avenue instead.

Rustenburg Road and Tana Road are the busier roads. Victory Park Shopping Centre, on the corner of Rustenburg Road and 2nd Avenue, is the landmark most people give.

Pierneef Park and Delta Park

Pierneef Park, to the north, is covered on this page. It's small, with 703 residents in 2011, and much of its census area is taken up by Delta Park and the Florence Bloom Bird Sanctuary. Delta Park School is on Standard Drive. If you've locked your keys in the car while walking in Delta Park, tell us which gate you came in through and where the car is parked. See car locksmith help and lost or broken car keys. You'll need to show that the car is yours.

How we charge

There's a R250 call-out. The technician assesses the job on site and gives you the price before any work starts. Nothing is done until you agree. We take EFT, cash or card. We'll ask for proof of residence before opening a home, and we try every non-destructive option first.
