Mobile Locksmith in Horison

Horison, Horison Park or Horizon? Sorting out the spelling

Few parts of Roodepoort have as many near-identical names as this one, and people searching for a locksmith often aren't sure which one they live in. Here's how the official sources spell it:

• Horison: the Stats SA census name for the main residential area, and the name OpenStreetMap uses too.
• Harison Park: the 2011 census spelling for the area OpenStreetMap labels Horisonpark. We cover it on this page.
• Harison View / Horizon View: the neighbouring suburb to the west. It has its own page: locksmith in Horizon View.

Whichever spelling is on your municipal bill, we'll find you. What matters is the street name and number.

Same bird street, two suburbs

Swallow, Kingfisher, Lark, Starling, Dove, Korhaan and Mossie Street all cross from the census area of Horison into Horison Park. That means "Kingfisher Street" on its own doesn't tell a driver which end you're at. When you call or WhatsApp us, add:

• the house number, and whether it's a house, a flat or a unit in a complex;
• the nearest bigger road, such as Mouton Road, Kilburn Street, Paul Kruger Avenue or Ontdekkers Road;
• the door or gate that's giving trouble: the front door, the security gate in front of it, the kitchen door or the driveway gate.

Houses with gardens, plus some blocks of flats

In 2011 the census counted about 5,500 people in Horison and roughly 800 in Horison Park. Property portals describe mostly freestanding family homes, along with some apartments, townhouses and sectional-title units. A house usually has a few locks between the street and the lounge, so a "lockout" isn't always about the front door. Sometimes the door opens fine but the padlock or lock on the trellis gate has seized. In that case our guide to a security gate lock that's stuck tells you what's safe to check before you phone.

In a block of flats, the technician needs a way past the street entrance as well as the unit door. Tell us whether there's an intercom, a caretaker or a neighbour who can let us in.

Locked out of the car at Westgate

Westgate Shopping Centre is just up Ontdekkers Road. Keys left on the seat, or a remote that dies in the parking area, can happen to anyone on a shopping trip. Tell us which entrance or parking area you're in and what the car is, then wait somewhere safe. We'll need to see that the car is yours before it's opened, so keep your ID handy and, if you can, the registration papers. More on this in keys locked in the car in Roodepoort and on our car locksmith page.

Cost and payment

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. You can pay by EFT, cash or card. We don't cut or copy keys, and there's no shop to walk into. Everything is done on site.
