Mobile Locksmith in Chloorkop

Lords View Industrial Park

Lords View is the large logistics park on Allandale Road, on the western side of Chloorkop. Broker marketing describes it as an old quarry turned into a logistics hub, and Equites Park inside it is listed at 9 Jacaranda Street with access-controlled security across the whole precinct. Sites this big have their own way of doing things:

• the precinct gate and the building's own reception are separate checkpoints, so both need to know we're coming;
• warehouses have rows of dock doors and personnel doors, so tell us exactly which door and which side of the building;
• the person who can approve a quote is often not on the night shift, so have their number ready.

Streets inside the park have tree names, such as Jacaranda Street and Poplar Crescent. Use them with the building or erf number when you give directions.

Proton, Neutron, Element: the chemistry streets

Much of Chloorkop's smaller industry sits on streets with science names: Proton Street, Neutron Road, Element Road, Molekule Street and Ampere Road. They're close together and easy to mix up on a phone call, so spell out the street. Proton Industrial Park on Proton Street is listed as a park with access control at its entry points, and one of its standalone warehouses has three roller shutter doors. Large yards like these usually mean a long list of padlocks on gates, cages and containers.

Free-standing factories and owner-run sites

Brokers describe Chloorkop as an industrial growth node since 2010, with buildings from about 50 m² to more than 20,000 m². Many are free-standing and occupied by their owners, making things like automotive parts, electronics and textiles. On an owner-run site, the owner usually holds the master set of keys, and that set is often missing just when it's needed. Typical calls:

• a roller door floor lock that has rusted solid (roller shutter door locks);
• a key snapped in a gate padlock or a front-office lock (broken key extraction);
• the office or wages safe that won't open (office safe won't open).

Keys, shifts and people who leave

Factories that run shifts hand keys from one supervisor to the next, and keys get lost along the way. When a key-holder leaves the company, replace the cylinders on outside doors and the padlocks on gates and containers rather than hoping the keys come back. We fit new locks and padlocks with fresh keys. We don't cut or copy keys, so decide how many sets you need before we arrive. The key control article shows how to keep track of them afterwards.

Before the job starts

Have proof that the business may open the premises ready: a lease, a letter on company letterhead or ID linked to the company. We try non-destructive entry first. 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. Payment is by EFT, cash or card.
