Townhouse country in numbers
In the 2011 Census, Wilgeheuwel had 11,822 residents in 4,842 households on 4.24 km². That's about 1,140 households per km², several times denser than Ruimsig next door. Building has carried on since: when we checked one property portal, townhouses far outnumbered houses for sale, with names like Telesto Estate, Nelinda Hills and Oshivelo on Sovereign Road, Elara on Sjampanje Street, and Biltmore Gables on Curlew Close. Photos of several complexes show gated entrances and electric fencing.
So a Wilgeheuwel call-out usually means a complex: a gate or guardhouse first, then a unit door with a security gate in front of it, and often a garage door and a sliding patio door as well.
Changing locks in a sectional-title unit: who to tell
| Your situation | Check with | Why |
|---|---|---|
| You own the unit | The conduct rules, or the managing agent | Some schemes specify the lock or security gate on unit doors |
| You rent the unit | Your landlord or letting agent | Most leases need consent, and the owner may want a key |
| The problem is the complex gate or a shared door | The body corporate | Common property is theirs to repair and pay for |
| You're locked out right now | Security at the gate | So the technician is let in without delay |
Once you know what's allowed, we'll quote on site for a repair or a replacement. If you rent, read our guide to lock changes between tenants.
Kimbult AH and Ambot AH
Two census areas with smallholding names are grouped with Wilgeheuwel on this site. Kimbult AH had 1,416 residents in 673 households on only 0.66 km² in 2011, so it's far more built up than the "AH" suggests. OpenStreetMap puts Catamaran Lane there, and Curro Academy Wilgeheuwel sits close by on Vintage Street. Ambot AH is much quieter, with 124 residents in 27 households in 2011, between Wilgeheuwel and the Ruimsig smallholdings. If your address uses either name, this is your page.
Hendrik Potgieter Road and the shopping centres
Hendrik Potgieter Road passes through the southern part of Wilgeheuwel, close to the Little Falls boundary. Lifestyle Crossing is on that road, and OpenStreetMap gives its address as Little Falls even though it sits on the Wilgeheuwel side of the census boundary. The Hub on Bellini Crescent is another local landmark. Either is a handy reference if you're giving directions to a complex nearby.
Shop and office tenants call us too: a shopfront lock that won't turn at closing time, a staff member who left with the keys, or an office safe that won't open. See commercial locksmith work and our checklist for business premises.
Jobs that come up in complexes
- Snapped key in a unit door or security gate. Don't try to dig it out. Call us for broken key extraction.

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. Payment by EFT, cash or card. We'll ask you for proof that you live at the unit or own the safe or car before we open it.

Wilgeheuwel: questions customers ask
Is Wilgeheuwel the same as Little Falls?
No, they're neighbouring suburbs, and the boundary runs close to Hendrik Potgieter Road. If you're on the Little Falls side, see locksmith in Little Falls. Map apps also use "Wilgeheuwel" for parts of Willowbrook further west.
Can you come to an estate with a guardhouse?
Yes. Tell security that a locksmith is coming and give us the estate name, your unit and the entrance to use.
Do you sell or cut keys?
No. We don't cut or copy keys, and there's no shop. We come to you to open, repair and replace locks.
What does a call-out cost?
The call-out is R250. Anything beyond that is quoted on site, and no work starts until you say yes.
