Commercial Locksmith in Kempton Park
Drive through Kempton Park on a weekday and much of what you pass is somebody's workplace. Isando is wall-to-wall warehouses, factories and manufacturing plants (the 2011 census found only 13 residents there). Spartan mixes heavy and light industry in units from small workshops to huge sheds. Chloorkop has free-standing factories and mini-unit parks, and Pomona has large distribution warehouses. Add the offices, shops and restaurants scattered through the suburbs, and businesses get as much of our attention as homes. We're a mobile commercial locksmith, so we come to the loading bay, the shopfront or the office floor.

Typical business call-outs
- Nobody can open up. The shift supervisor is at the gate at six, but the keyholder is on leave and the staff door won't budge.
- Roller shutters and loading doors. A seized padlock, a bent locking bar or a keyed shutter lock that has stopped turning, and the shutter itself: springs, slats, guides and motor. See roller shutter door locks: common problems.
- Yards, containers and gates. Padlocks and hasps sized for the job; choosing padlocks for warehouses, yards and containers compares the types.
- Someone left with keys. A driver, a contractor or a former tenant never handed theirs back, so the cylinders need changing.
- Office doors and storerooms with tired locks, including stock rooms, filing rooms and server cupboards.
- Burglary damage to doors, shutters and padlocks: see break-in lock repairs.
- Cash and document safes that won't open or need a fresh code: safe opening and safe repairs.
Getting us through the park gate
A lot of units in Isando, Spartan and Chloorkop sit inside business parks with access control and guards on duty day and night. Phone the gatehouse ahead of us with the unit number, and find out whether contractors sign a register or show ID. On the phone, give us the park's name, which entrance to use and where to park. If the work is on a loading-bay door, make sure no truck or forklift is blocking it.
Electronic systems are outside our trade: card readers, maglocks, alarms, cameras and electric fences. If a door relies on an electric strike or reader, tell us how it's set up and we'll say frankly whether we can help.
Shops, restaurants and offices
Doors in retail and hospitality work hard: the front door swings all day, the back door gets wedged open for deliveries, and grilles go up and down every morning and night. Because we answer 24/7, lock work can happen before trading starts or once the kitchen has closed. Locking up a shop or restaurant at night has a closing checklist your staff can follow.
Who holds the keys?
Most commercial lock changes trace back to a key nobody accounted for. Shifts and temporary staff make it worse, because keys get handed from person to person. Keep a written list of each key and who signed for it, and collect keys on a person's last day. Key control for businesses explains a simple system.
Invoices and quotes for several doors
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 get an invoice for your books, and you can pay by EFT, cash or card. For a whole site, the technician walks through every door, gate and padlock first and quotes the lot together.

We provide commercial locksmith as part of our mobile locksmith service across Kempton Park. Areas we're often asked about include:
Questions customers ask
Can the work be done outside trading hours?
Yes. We're open 24/7, so choose a slot that keeps the doors open for customers and staff, and we'll fit in with it.
Who needs to meet the technician?
A person with authority over the premises: the owner, a director or a manager, or someone carrying their written instruction. If you rent the unit, your landlord may have to agree to a lock change.
Do you install access control or cameras?
No. Our work is mechanical: locks, padlocks, door and gate hardware, and safes. Access control, alarms and CCTV need a specialist installer.
