Mobile Locksmith in Nimrod Park

Practices, shops and offices on Monument Road

OpenStreetMap shows a medical practice (Medicross Monument, at 82 Monument Road), a computer shop and a hardware store inside the Nimrod Park boundary, and agents have marketed commercial buildings on Monument Road here. For a small business, a lock problem costs money from the moment you can't open:

• the staff are outside at opening time because the front-door cylinder has jammed;
• a back or stockroom door won't lock at closing, and you can't leave it like that;
• a keyholder has left the job and nobody is sure how many keys are still out there;
• the office safe won't open, with the day's float or documents inside.

All of these are commercial jobs for us. If it's the safe, see office safe won't open: what to check before you call. For managing keys among staff, read key control for businesses.

Three main roads around a small suburb

Monument Road, Dann Road and Van Riebeeck Road all run through or along Nimrod Park. That's handy for directions, but those roads are busy and some have one-way sections, so tell us which side of the road you're on and the nearest side street. Inside the suburb, many streets are named after antelope: Impala Road, Tsessebe Road, Lechwe Road, Steenbok Avenue, Sebra Avenue, Njala Avenue and Oorbietjie Street.

Eland Road, Lechwe Road and Pienaar Avenue carry on into Aston Manor, so a house number alone may not settle which suburb you're in. That doesn't matter to us; we just need the right gate.

Aston Manor Primary is in Nimrod Park

One thing does confuse visitors. Aston Manor Primary School is on Eland Road, inside what the 2011 Census counts as Nimrod Park, not Aston Manor. If you give the school as your landmark, add the street name too. The census counted 1,061 people in 314 households here in 2011, on about 0.53 km².

Homes: houses, clusters and a few flats

Most of the homes advertised in Nimrod Park are houses, with some clusters and a few flats. At home, the calls tend to be ordinary but urgent: keys locked inside, a key snapped off in the lock, or a security gate lock that has finally given up. We do emergency lockouts, broken-key extraction and lock repairs, and we always try a non-destructive way in first.

What you'll pay

R250 call-out. The technician assesses the job on site and gives you the price before any work starts. Nothing is done until you agree. A business pays the same way as a household: EFT, cash or card. We'll ask for proof that you own or run the premises, or live in the house, before we open anything.
