Mobile Locksmith in Sunderland Ridge

Heavy doors, heavy padlocks

Manufacturing and storage premises are built to keep people out, and that's exactly why a lock failure here is awkward: there's rarely an easy second way in. The jobs we expect in Sunderland Ridge are:

• a steel personnel door or a security gate on the office block where the lock has worn, the key won't turn, or a key has snapped off in the cylinder;
• an industrial roller shutter that's stuck, with a broken spring, a failed motor or a floor lock that won't let go;
• a large padlock on a yard gate, a cage or a container, seized after months of dust and rain;
• a motorised sliding gate at the yard entrance that has stopped. See our article on gate motor and gate lock faults;
• a safe in the factory office that won't open, or needs its code changed.

Every one of these is normal commercial locksmith work for us, shutter springs and gate motors included.

Finding the right unit

Sunderland Ridge is small, but a few things trip people up:

• The map has Rudolf Street, while some listings write Rudolph Street. They are the same street.
• Kwambi Crescent is sometimes spelt Kwanbi.
• Barolong Street carries on west past the original township, and some units along it are in separately named, gated parks. If yours is one of them, give us the park's name as well as the street number.

If the park or your own yard has a guard at the gate, tell them a locksmith is coming for your business and who will meet us. If it doesn't, ask someone to be at the gate so the technician isn't left outside a locked yard.

After-hours callouts and keeping keys under control

A night-shift supervisor who can't get into the factory, or an alarm call at two in the morning that reveals a damaged lock, can't wait until Monday. We're open 24/7. If there has been a break-in, report it to SAPS first, then call us for break-in repairs to make the doors and gates secure again.

When a staff member who held keys leaves, change the cylinders on the outside doors and replace the yard padlocks. New locks come with their own keys. We don't make copies, so decide up front how many sets you need.

Quote, proof 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. Before we open a factory, a yard or a safe, we ask for proof that it's yours to open, such as a lease, a letter from the owner or ID that matches the account. We try non-destructive entry first.
