Mobile Locksmith in Birchleigh North

First, make sure you mean Birchleigh North

The name causes mix-ups. Birchleigh North is its own suburb, with its own census area (7,998 residents in 2011). It isn't the north end of Birchleigh. Its other neighbour is Norkem Park, and the boundary isn't obvious on the ground: Modderfontein Road, Mooifontein Road and the Kaal Spruit run through both. When you call, tell us the suburb on your municipal account. If it says plain Birchleigh, our locksmith in Birchleigh page is the one for you.

Streets with first names, and some closed ends

Most streets here are named after people's first names: Craig Street, Delmaine Street, Heloise Street, Frikkie Street, Natasha Street and many more. Because there are so many similar ones, give us the house number and a cross street.

OpenStreetMap shows more than twenty gates across Birchleigh North's streets, and over half are tagged as closed to through traffic. In practice that means the shortest way to your house on a map may be blocked by a gate. If you know which entrance is open at night, or which neighbour has the remote, tell us when you call. That saves time getting to you.

Houses and townhouses

Of 121 Birchleigh North properties on Property24 when we looked, 63 were houses and 51 townhouses, with only a handful of flats. That gives two kinds of call:

At a house, it's usually the front door, the security gate in front of it, or a garage or back door. Locks on outside doors take the weather, and a lock that has started to stick usually gets worse. A repair on time is cheaper than a lockout later. See key won't turn or the lock is stiff for what you can safely check yourself.

In a townhouse complex, the problem is often getting in the main gate when the remote is inside with your keys. Arrange for someone to open it for us, and give us the unit number.

New keys for a new home

If you've bought or started renting a place here, you can't know how many keys are still around. The safest answer is to change the locks or the cylinders on the outside doors. We fit new locks with their own keys. We don't cut copies, so choose a lock that comes with enough keys for everyone in the house. More in changing the locks after moving in.

Call-out 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. Opening a house, safe or car needs proof that it's yours or that you live there, and we start with non-destructive methods.
