Mobile Locksmith in Glen Marais
Glen Marais has more residents than any other single suburb in the 2011 Census count for Kempton Park, and most of the homes that come up for sale here are townhouses, cluster units and flats rather than houses on their own stands. At Mobile Locksmith Kempton Park, we're a fully mobile locksmith service: there's no shop to drive to, because we bring the tools to your unit, your house, your shop or your car. Glen Marais and Glen Marais Ext are both covered by our mobile locksmith service in Kempton Park, day and night.

More townhouses than houses
When we checked Property24 on 10 November 2026, Glen Marais had 443 properties listed. Townhouses were the biggest group (164), then houses (157) and flats (103), with a handful of commercial properties and vacant plots. That mix decides what usually goes wrong:
| Where you live | What tends to bring us out |
|---|---|
| Townhouse or cluster unit | The front door has pulled shut with the keys and the gate remote on the kitchen counter; a unit door that only locks if you lift the handle |
| Flat | A lost bunch of keys; a worn cylinder on the flat door; a trellis gate across the entrance that has stopped turning |
| Freestanding house | Security gates, garage side doors and outbuildings with locks nobody remembers the keys for |
A lock that has started to stick can usually be sorted with a lock repair. If it's worn out, the technician will quote you for a new lock before touching anything.
Complex gates and common property
OpenStreetMap shows several named cluster developments in the northern part of Glen Marais, including Cormorant Clusters, Honeyguide Clusters, Woodpecker Village and Gill Waters, close to Blue Gill Estate and its dam. In complexes like these, two kinds of lock are involved:
- Your own unit: the front door, the patio door and any security gate on your unit are normally yours to repair or change.
- Common property: the pedestrian gate, the vehicle gate and the refuse room usually fall under the body corporate or the home owners' association. Ask the trustees or the managing agent before you book work on them.
When you phone, tell us the complex name, your unit number and whether a guard or an intercom controls the gate, so the technician isn't left waiting in the street. Our guide to being locked out of a townhouse or estate home runs through the rest.
Shops and restaurants near Monument Road and Dann Road
Glen Marais isn't only homes. The area around the junction of Monument Road and Dann Road has supermarkets, banks, pharmacies and restaurants, and more shops line Monument Road itself. Retail and food businesses have their own lock trouble: a shutter padlock that won't open before trading, a back door that won't lock at closing time, or a key that left with a staff member who has resigned.
We handle these as commercial locksmith work, at whatever hour you're stuck. For closing-up routines, read locking up a shop or restaurant at night, and for shopfronts with steel shutters, roller shutter door locks.
Glen Marais, Glen Marais Ext or Glen Erasmia?
The names around here overlap, so it's worth a word. The 2011 Census counted 13,569 people in 4,708 households in Glen Marais itself, on just under 6 km². It also had a separate sub-place, Glen Marais Ext (2,519 people), to the south-east, with gated estates such as Bon Manzi Estate off Koppie Road. We treat both as Glen Marais.
Next door is Glen Erasmia, with the Glen Erasmia Boulevard estate and Glen Eagle Estate. Some property adverts list Blue Gill Estate under Glen Erasmia, although it sits inside the Glen Marais census boundary. It makes no difference to us: give us the estate and street name and we'll come. If you live in Glen Erasmia Boulevard or Glen Eagle, see our locksmith in Glen Erasmia page.
What it costs and how you pay
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. Before we open a door, a car or a safe, we'll ask to see something that shows you live there or own it: an ID with a matching lease, a utility account, or the vehicle's papers.

Glen Marais: questions customers ask
My townhouse door closed behind me and the gate remote is inside too. What now?
Phone us and then let the complex's guard or a neighbour know a locksmith is on the way, so someone can let the technician in at the main gate. We try non-destructive entry first. See emergency lockouts.
The key snapped off in my flat door. Can you get it out?
Yes. Broken-key extraction is one of our ordinary jobs. Don't push the broken piece in further with a second key; leave it as it is until the technician arrives.
Can you make me a spare key while you're here?
No. We don't cut or copy keys. If you need more keys, the technician can fit a new lock that comes with its own set, and you can decide how many you need before you choose it.
Do you also come out for car lockouts in the shopping centre parking?
Yes. Tell us which car park you're in and what the car is. Our car locksmith service covers lockouts and car keys, and we'll ask for the vehicle papers or your ID.
