One property, a long list of locks
Houses for sale here are big, and so is the lock count. Current Property24 listings include a renovated home with four garages, stands of 7,000 m² to 1.4 hectares, and one property with two separate residences for an extended family. On a place like that, the locks that matter are spread out:
- the front door, perhaps a wide timber door with a mortice lock and a separate deadlock;
- several sets of patio and garden doors;
- a bank of garage doors, each with its own motor or lock;
- the driveway gate and its motor (several listings open with "automated gates");
- a cottage or second home with its own front door;
- a study safe, and sometimes a firearm safe.
If you've just bought here, or you've lost track of which key fits what, the technician can work through the property door by door and quote for the doors you choose. Our article on upgrading the locks in an estate home explains the usual options.
Stables, stores and the far end of the stand
The estate has stables and several equestrian properties, and residents ride out on the estate roads. Tack rooms, feed stores and garden sheds are usually locked with padlocks or simple rim locks, out in the weather, and that is where seized locks and snapped keys turn up. We replace padlocks and hasps, free or replace outbuilding locks, extract broken keys and repair roller doors on stores. When you book, tell us which building it is and roughly how far it is from the house, so the technician brings the right parts.
At the security gate
The estate says it monitors visitors and contractors closely, and it has a security office line of its own. Phone security before the technician sets off so the name Mobile Locksmith Centurion is on their list, and keep your ID or proof of residence ready at the house.
Your address may say Irene
Map apps label several of the estate's streets, including Tintagel Road, Shillingford Road and Bradstone Road, as Irene rather than Cornwall Hill. Property agents list the same streets as Cornwall Hill. So that the technician comes in through the right gate and not to the old village, tell us "Cornwall Hill Estate" plus the street and house number. Stand numbers help as well, because some properties have long private driveways.
Safes in large homes
A forgotten combination, a keypad with flat batteries or a lost override key are all routine jobs. We open safes, repair their locks and change combinations, and we ask for proof that the safe is yours before opening it. If a code needs changing because staff or a former partner knew it, see changing a safe combination or code.
Fees and payment
R250 to come out. The technician assesses the job on site and gives you the price before any work starts. Nothing is done until you agree. Pay however suits you: EFT, cash or card. We start with the method least likely to damage the door, frame or safe.

Cornwall Hill Estate: questions customers ask
Can you go through every lock on the property in one visit?
Yes. On a large stand it's often the most sensible way to do it. The technician lists what needs repairing or replacing and gives you the price before any work starts.
The padlock on our tack room has rusted shut. Is that worth a call-out?
It's a normal job for us. We'll remove the seized padlock without damaging the door, then fit a new one if you want it.
Will you keep a copy of our keys?
No. We don't cut keys and we don't keep any. New locks come with their own keys, and every key goes to you.
