Mobile Locksmith in Esther Park

Esther Park, Estherpark: same place

Property portals write "Esther Park". The 2011 Census and OpenStreetMap write it as one word, "Estherpark". Whichever you use, you're in the right place. Another name catches people out: Edleen Primary School is in Esther Park, at 8 Parkland Drive, not in Edleen. If you give it as a landmark, also tell us you're in Esther Park.

A big area with few homes

Esther Park covers 5.28 km², but in 2011 it had only 4,561 residents, a much lower density than its neighbours. That's because so much of the area is taken up by Festival Mall, the Kempton Park Golf Course and Barnard Stadium. The homes are in pockets between them, so a precise street name matters. Useful roads to mention are Parkland Drive, Kelvin Drive, CR Swart Drive and Plane Road. Many of the residential streets are named after animals (Cheetah, Rhino, Giraffe, Sable) or trees (Rooidoring, Bauhinia, Petrea).

Flats in estates, and a few houses

When we checked Property24, Esther Park had 54 properties for sale: 25 flats, 23 houses and 5 townhouses. Several of the flats are in Fountain Ridge Estate on Parkland Drive, and others in blocks such as The Wedge on Cheetah Street. OpenStreetMap also shows a newer cluster of houses called Portofino in the west of the suburb.

For an estate or block, we'll need its name, the block and unit number, and someone to let us through the gate. In a flat, the commonest problem is a door that has latched behind you. For that and for worn locks, see lock repair and locked out of a townhouse or estate home.

Shops at Festival Mall, and lost car keys

Festival Mall is a large centre, and the shops in it have locks that fail like any others: a shopfront that won't lock at closing time, a roller shutter that won't open in the morning, a stockroom key that's gone missing. We do commercial work at any hour, and our guide to locking up a shop or restaurant at night is worth a read.

Shoppers lose car keys there too. If you've lost yours or broken it, phone us with the make and model, where in the parking you are, and proof that the car is yours. See car keys.

What it costs

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 pay by EFT, cash or card. We ask for proof of ownership or residence before opening a door, safe or car, and try non-destructive methods first. We don't cut or copy keys.
