Mobile Locksmith in Lindhaven

Oak, Maple, Jacaranda: tell us which end

Oak, Maple, Marula and Jacaranda Street are just a few of the tree names on Lindhaven's map. One of them needs a warning: Poplar Street is one long road that runs through Lindhaven, Roodepoort West and Davidsonville. If you're on Poplar, give the house number and a cross street so we don't end up at the wrong end. The same goes for the long through roads, Progress Road and Nick Tooney Boulevard.

When a whole household shares a few keys

The 2011 census counted about 4,400 people in roughly 1,240 households, which works out to around three and a half people per home. Property portals describe Lindhaven as mainly freehold family houses, along with some townhouses and apartment complexes. In a busy household one key ring often fits the front door, the security gate, the kitchen door and the garage side door. When that ring goes missing:

1. Think about where it went. Dropped at the shops is a different risk from a bag stolen with your ID or an address in it.
2. If there's any chance someone knows your address, change the cylinders on the outside doors and gates now rather than later.
3. If you're sure it's simply lost, you may decide to change only the main entrances first.

Our guide on whether to rekey or replace after losing keys explains the trade-offs. When you call, the technician will quote per door.

Children and lockouts

If a child is locked inside, or locked out and alone, phone us and tell us straight away. The technician tries non-destructive entry first. An adult who lives at the house will need to be there, or reachable, to confirm the address before the door is opened. Our guide on what to do first when you're locked out covers the checks worth making while you wait.

After a break-in

Report it to SAPS first and keep the damaged parts for the case and your insurer. Then we can make doors, gates and burglar-bar gates lockable again with break-in repairs. Our after-a-burglary checklist walks through the rest of the house.
