Mobile Locksmith in Strubens Valley

Strubensvallei on paper, Strubens Valley on the sign

Stats SA records the suburb as Strubensvallei, the Afrikaans form, and most listings and shop addresses use the English Strubens Valley. Both mean the same place. In 2011 it had 5,350 residents and 1,787 households on 2.58 km². That's a compact suburb, so what helps us most is knowing which of its three parts you're in.

Three parts, three kinds of call-out

A 2011 Private Property article splits Strubens Valley into three sections, and that's still a handy way to describe where you are:

The same article notes that, apart from Hendrik Potgieter Road, the suburb has no large through roads. In the quieter streets in the east and centre, a nearby cross street helps a driver more than a landmark does.

Near Clearwater Mall: shops, offices and parked cars

Clearwater Mall is at the junction of Hendrik Potgieter Road and Christiaan de Wet Road. Visit Joburg lists 218 stores there, and OpenStreetMap places the mall inside the Strubensvallei boundary. Clearwater Office Park is at 12 Millenium Boulevard, opposite the mall, and its listing mentions access-controlled entrances and basement parking. Around this junction we get three kinds of call:

• Shop and office locks. A roller-shutter padlock, a suite door or a back-of-house door that won't secure at closing. Clear after-hours access with centre or park management before we arrive. See commercial locksmith work.
• Car lockouts in a parking area. Tell us which entrance or which side of the building you're parked at, along with the car's make and model. See car locksmith.
• Homes on the west side, handled like any other house or complex call.

Freehold houses in the middle of the suburb

For the older houses, the jobs tend to be wear and tear: a deadlock that needs a firm push before it throws, a security gate key that only turns with a jiggle, a mortice lock whose keys are long gone. Before you choose between repairing and replacing, deadlocks, nightlatches and mortice locks explains what's actually on your door. If a key has snapped off in the lock, leave the broken piece where it is and call us. See broken-key extraction.

How the visit works

R250 call-out. The technician checks the lock, door and frame, asks for proof that you live there or own the vehicle, and tells you the price. Nothing happens until you say yes. The technician assesses the job on site and gives you the price before any work starts. Nothing is done until you agree. Entry is non-destructive wherever that's possible. You can pay by EFT, cash or card, on the spot.
