Mobile Locksmith in Allen Grove
Allen Grove is a suburb of established family houses, most of them freestanding on their own stands, with walls, security gates and more outside doors than a flat or townhouse would have. At Mobile Locksmith Kempton Park, we're a fully mobile locksmith service, so you don't go looking for a shop: you phone, and the technician comes to your house with the tools. Allen Grove is one of the suburbs in our mobile locksmith service across Kempton Park, and we're open 24/7.

Tree-named streets and a long Partridge Avenue
Many of Allen Grove's streets are named after trees, some in Afrikaans and some in English: Wilgeboom Road, Vyeboom Road, Akkerboom Road, Peperboom Avenue, Kameeldoring Road and Mulberry Avenue, among others. Two things make directions easier:
- Partridge Avenue runs right through Allen Grove and carries on well beyond it, so a house number on Partridge Avenue alone can send someone the wrong way. Give us the nearest cross street too.
- Van Riebeeck Road passes along part of the suburb, with Impala Laer Skool beside it. The Ekurhuleni West TVET College Kempton Park campus also falls inside Allen Grove's census boundary. If you live near either, say so.
The 2011 Census counted 2,801 people in 748 households on about 1.3 km² here, so it's a compact area once we know which corner you're in.
Houses with plenty of locks
Allen Grove house listings describe the sort of property that has a lot of locking points: burglar bars and security gates, double or triple garages, a staff room or a flatlet at the back, and a wall around the stand. Over the years, keys for all of these end up on different bunches, or they disappear.
If you've just bought here, or you don't know who still has keys from the previous owners, tenants or staff, changing the outside locks is the sensible first job. We fit new locks with their own keys; we don't cut copies, so decide how many keys you need before choosing a lock. Our guide to changing the locks after moving in goes through which doors to do first.
Security gates that stick
Steel security gates on front and kitchen doors carry most of the burden in a house like this. The usual complaints are a key that turns only with a push or a lift, a lock that won't catch once the gate has sagged, and a padlock on a side gate that has rusted solid. A lock repair often sorts it out, and if the lock body has worn through, we'll quote for a new one before we start. Security gate lock problems explains what you can safely check yourself first.
Home safes
A lot of family homes keep a safe in a cupboard or bolted into the floor of the main bedroom. If the key is lost, the code is forgotten or the handle won't turn, we can come out for safe opening or safe repairs. These are ordinary jobs for us. We'll need proof that you own the safe and live at the house.
After a break-in
Phone SAPS first and get a case number. Photograph the damaged door, frame, gate or burglar bars before anything is moved, because your insurer will likely want the pictures. Then we can come and make the house lockable again. See break-in repairs and our guide on securing your home after a break-in.
Price 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 when the work is done.

Allen Grove: questions customers ask
Our garage door's side lock is jammed and the car is inside. Can you open it?
Yes. Tell us whether it's a pedestrian door, a tip-up door or a roll-up door, and whether the lock is a cylinder or a padlock. We try non-destructive entry first.
Can you check all the locks on a house we've just bought?
Yes. The technician can go round the outside doors and gates with you, tell you which ones are worth keeping and quote for the ones that need replacing. You decide what gets done.
Is Allen Grove the same as Van Riebeeck Park?
No, they're neighbouring suburbs. If you're on the other side, see our locksmith in Van Riebeeck Park page. We cover both.
