Mobile Locksmith in Florida Glen

East or west of the N1?

The freeway is the first thing to mention when you give directions. Wikipedia notes that the N1 runs through Florida Glen with an off-ramp at Gordon Road. OpenStreetMap also shows Lange Avenue and Gordon Road inside the suburb, and Hendrik Potgieter Road crossing part of it. Lange Avenue used to be the main road, until the freeway was built in the 1980s and traffic moved to Gordon Road. RealNet's area profile mentions a small centre called The Glen, where Lange Avenue meets Gordon Road. Wikipedia also mentions the NG Kerk Florida Glen, whose steel spire can be seen from the freeway. Both are useful meeting points if the technician can't find your gate.

Florida Glen is the boundary between Roodepoort and the suburbs to the east. Wikipedia lists Quellerina to the north, Delarey to the south, and Bergbron and Northcliff to the east. We cover the Roodepoort side, so if you're not sure which suburb your street is in, check your municipal account or tell us the street and we'll confirm.

Cluster homes and sectional-title flats

Census 2011 counted about 3,400 people on 1.13 km² here, roughly 3,000 per square kilometre. That's denser than most of the Florida areas. MyProperty describes the mix as freestanding family houses, cluster homes and sectional-title apartments. For complexes, a few things make the visit smoother:

• Tell the guard or the complex WhatsApp group that a locksmith is coming, and give your unit number.
• If your remote or tag is inside the locked unit, ask a neighbour to open the pedestrian gate.
• Check your lease or the body-corporate rules before replacing a lock on a rented or sectional-title unit. Lock changes between tenants explains what landlords usually expect.
• Gate motors and intercoms are usually the complex's responsibility, so tell us exactly which lock is giving trouble.

Florida North and the Flora Centre

Florida North had 1,245 residents in 2011 and lies between Florida Glen, Florida Hills and Florida. The Flora Centre's letting agent gives its address as the corner of Conrad Street and Ontdekkers Road in Florida North, and the listing mentions open and basement parking. Wikipedia files the centre under Florida Hills, so you'll see both names used. OpenStreetMap also labels a freeway interchange in Florida North simply as "Roodepoort".

If you're locked out of your car in a shopping-centre car park, give us the level (open or basement), the nearest entrance, and your car's make, model and year. You'll need to show the car's papers or your ID linked to the registration before we open it. For broken or lost car keys, see car locksmith help, and read keys locked in the car while you wait.

What it costs

R250 call-out fee. After that, the technician quotes on the actual job, whether it's a door, gate cylinder, car or safe, and only starts once you're happy with the price. We take EFT, cash or card.
