Mobile Locksmith in Cresslawn

A short, honest picture

Cresslawn is compact: 0.92 km² and 2,308 residents in 755 households at the 2011 Census. It's mostly houses. Of the 14 Cresslawn properties on Property24 when we checked, 12 were houses, with one flat and one townhouse in a secure complex. So most jobs here are at a house with its own gate, front door, back door and garage.

Tree streets, and the spelling

Many residential streets are named after trees: Beech Road, Chestnut Street, Elm Street, Sycamore Road, Olive Street, Plane Road and even a Birch Street, which has nothing to do with the suburb of Birch Acres. OpenStreetMap spells the suburb as two words, "Cress Lawn", while the census and property sites use "Cresslawn". Cresslawn Primary School on Olive Street is a handy landmark, and Zuurfontein Road and Green Avenue are the main roads to give us.

Where the houses meet Spartan

A few Cresslawn roads have industrial names, Steel Road, Rigger Road, Fitter Road and Derrick Road, and they carry on into the Spartan industrial area. OpenStreetMap also shows commercial premises on Ivoor Road. If you run a workshop or a small business here, we can help with roller shutter locks, padlocks on yard gates, a stuck office safe, or changing locks when a staff member leaves with a key. See commercial locksmith work and choosing padlocks for warehouses and yards. Larger premises further into the park are covered on our locksmith in Spartan page.

At home in Cresslawn

• Locked out: keys inside, lost or stolen.
• A stiff or worn lock on a door or security gate.
• New locks after you move in, or after keys go missing.
• A key snapped in the lock.
• Home safes and car keys, as ordinary jobs.

We don't do key cutting, so any extra keys come from a new lock's own set.

Price and payment

The call-out fee is R250. 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 check proof of ownership or residence before we open anything, and try non-destructive entry first.
