Mobile Locksmith in Honeydew

Honeydew, Laser Park or "Lazer Park"?

You'll see all three names on leases, invoices and delivery notes, and they usually mean the same few blocks. OpenStreetMap places the Honeydew suburb point inside the 2011 Census sub-place called Laser Park, and it labels the industrial zone itself "Lazer Park". The census counted only 351 residents and 63 households across 1.66 km² there, which tells you what kind of area it is: people come here to work, not to live.

A property profile from Newpoint describes Honeydew as a relatively small area made up mostly of business parks. Blueberry Square, with Checkers and Woolworths, sits on Blueberry Street on the eastern edge of the same census area, which makes it a useful landmark when you give directions.

Lock work we do in business parks

Units in Laser Park tend to combine a warehouse floor with a small office, and letting listings mention roller shutter doors. That mix means several kinds of lock under one roof:

• Office and reception doors with a worn cylinder, a sticking latch or a handle that has dropped. A lock repair often sorts this out before it fails completely.
• Staff turnover. When you can't account for every key, swapping the cylinders on the outside doors is usually quicker and cheaper than a full new lockset. See lock replacement.
• Store rooms, stock cages and the manager's office that need their own locks, separate from the main entrance.
• The office safe holding the petty cash or documents, when the keypad has died or nobody remembers the code. That's a safe opening job, and code changes fall under safe repairs.
• Vans and bakkies with the keys locked inside, in the yard or a loading bay. See car locksmith.

Our checklist on locks for shops, offices and warehouses is worth a read before you book.

Getting through the park gate

A property profile says Laser Park's industrial parks have round-the-clock security, access control and CCTV, and an area guide from Anvil Property mentions guardhouse entries and managed complexes. OpenStreetMap shows lift gates at points such as Battleship Street and Boat Turn Street. A locksmith nobody has announced usually waits at the boom, so it helps to tell us the following when you call:

• the park's name and your building and unit number (for example, Honeydew Business Park on Citrus Street is split into lettered buildings);
• the street the park's gate is on: Citrus Street, Schooner Avenue, Zeiss Road or another road off them;
• a contact person on site with a phone that will be answered, so the guard can check;
• where a contractor's vehicle can stop near your unit door.

We're open 24/7, but whether a contractor may enter a park at night or over a weekend is up to the park's management. Clear it with them first so the guard isn't caught off guard.

Who signs off the work

On a business call we need to know that the person asking for a door or safe to be opened has the right to ask. That's usually the owner, a director or the manager responsible for the premises, with proof such as a lease, a company letter or ID that matches the tenancy. If you rent the unit, check whether the lease makes locks the landlord's responsibility or requires the landlord to hold a key. Doors and gates shared with other tenants belong to the park, so speak to the managing agent before we touch them.

The technician quotes on site before any work starts, and nothing is done until you agree. Call-out: R250 call-out fee. Payment is by EFT, cash or card.

After a break-in at your unit

If the unit has been broken into, open a SAPS case and tell park security before anything is repaired, and take photographs of the damaged door, frame and lock. Once the police are done, we can secure the opening and repair or replace what was damaged so you can lock up again. More on this under break-in repairs.

When you replace damaged hardware, it's a good moment to think about the type of cylinder you fit. Our article on anti-snap cylinders explains the options in plain terms.
