Complex living: what to tell us before we come
A Century 21 article describes Groblerpark as offering "spacious apartments and townhouses in secure complexes", and listings on Private Property bear that out, with first-floor flats, duplexes and townhouses with lockable garages. The 2011 Census counted 6,774 people in 2,469 households on just 2.3 km². That's more households per square kilometre than neighbouring Witpoortjie, which fits a suburb of complexes.
When you book, the technician needs:
- the complex name as it's written at the entrance, and your unit number;
- how the gate works for visitors: intercom, remote, a code, or you walking down to open it;
- which floor the unit is on, if it's in a block of flats;
- which lock it is: the unit's front door, the security gate in front of it, or the garage.
Groblerpark or Witpoortjie? Map apps don't agree
Groblerpark's census boundary and the names on map apps don't line up neatly. OpenStreetMap places Kipling Street, Kingsley Street, Mark Twain Street, Chaucer Avenue and Reitz Road inside the census suburb, yet many of them show up as "Witpoortjie" in map search results. OpenStreetMap also places its own "Groblerpark" label east of the census boundary. Hoërskool Die Adelaar on Prosperity Road is inside census Groblerpark too, although its map address says Lindhaven.
None of this matters once we have the street name and number. Just don't rely on the suburb name alone, and send a location pin on WhatsApp if you can. For the suburbs on either side, see locksmith in Witpoortjie and locksmith in Lindhaven.
Wilfordon: the open land to the south
This page also covers the Wilfordon agricultural holdings, which the census treats as a separate sub-place. In 2011 it had 2.23 km² of land but only 17 residents in 14 households, so it's mostly open ground. If you're on a property there, the main thing we need is clear directions to the gate: which road you turn off, and what the entrance looks like.
Unit doors, security gates and garages
In a complex, most lock trouble is on one of three things. Here's how each is usually handled:
| Problem | Usually |
|---|---|
| Front door shut with the keys inside | Non-destructive entry first: emergency lockout |
| Security gate key won't turn, or turns without locking | Lock repair. See also stuck security gate locks |
| Keys lost, or the previous tenant still has a set | Lock replacement on the unit door |
| Garage lock forced, or the door damaged in a break-in | Report it to SAPS, then book a break-in repair |
| Small home safe won't open | Safe opening, once you've shown it's yours |
Tenants, owners and the body corporate
If you rent, read your lease before a lock is changed: many landlords want to approve it and keep a key. If you own a sectional-title unit, the door to your unit is usually your responsibility, but the complex gate and shared doors belong to the body corporate, so we'll need the managing agent's go-ahead for those. Our guide to lock changes between tenants covers this in more detail.
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. Pay by EFT, cash or card.

Groblerpark: questions customers ask
Is it Groblerpark or Grobler Park?
Both are used. The census writes Groblerpark, while Private Property's listing headings use Grobler Park. We cover the same area either way.
Can you open my flat if the remote for the complex gate is inside too?
Yes, but someone has to let the technician through the complex gate. Ask a neighbour, the caretaker or security to open it, and tell us who that will be when you call.
Do you make spare keys for the new lock?
No. We don't cut or copy keys. A new lock comes with its own set of keys, and you decide who gets them.
