Mobile Locksmith in Valhalla

What's for sale tells you what's here

On 15 November 2026 Property24 had 53 Valhalla properties on its books: 41 houses, four flats, four townhouses, three commercial properties and one vacant stand. The house adverts keep repeating the same features: stands of around 1,500 to 1,700 m² with mature trees, double-storey family homes, a pool and entertainment area, solar power, and a separate flatlet. Several are sold as "three homes on one property" or "three separate living spaces", aimed at extended families and landlords.

The 2011 census counted 11,530 people in 3,427 households in Valhalla, which makes it one of the larger established suburbs we cover.

Several homes on one erf: keeping the keys under control

When a property has a main house plus one or two let units, the locks stop being a family matter. Each unit usually has its own front door, security gate and perhaps a garage, while everybody shares the driveway gate. A few things make life easier:

• Know who holds what. Write down which keys and gate remotes each tenant has.
• Change the lock between tenants. If keys don't come back, a new lock on that unit settles the question.
• Keep the shared gate sound. A gate motor or gate lock that fails affects every household on the stand at once.

We handle lock replacements for individual units, repairs to tired locks, and gate locks and gate motors on site. If you've had a break-in at one unit, we'll get it locking again first: see break-in repairs.

Long driveways, gate motors and outbuildings

On a big stand, the gate can be a long way from the front door, and outbuildings pile up: a garage with a roller door, a store room, a workshop, a domestic worker's room. Those doors are often closed with a padlock and hasp that eventually rusts or loses its key. We open and replace padlocks, repair and replace door locks, and work on garage roller doors and their springs, mechanisms and motors, as well as driveway gate motors. For a stuck gate, gate motor and gate lock faults has the safe checks.

Thor, Freya and Oslo: Valhalla's street names

True to the suburb's name, many of Valhalla's streets come from Norse mythology and Scandinavia: Thor Road, Wodin Road, Freya Road, Baldur Road, Valkyrie Road and Viking Road, alongside Oslo Road, Bergen Road, Hammerfest Road and Fjord Road, and Icelandic names like Hekla Road. Others honour Greek places, such as Acropolis Road and Lemnos Road. If your street sounds like that, you're almost certainly in Valhalla, and a house number is all we need.

The shops are spread along Alaric Road and the Broadway roads, and Valhalla Primary School and Vhalliespark Primary are both inside the suburb, which makes them handy meeting points if you're locked out of the car on the school run.

Charges 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. Pay by EFT, cash or card. We'll ask to see proof that you own or live at the property, or own the car or safe, before we open it, and we try non-destructive entry first. We don't cut or copy keys.
