Mobile Locksmith in Benmore Gardens

Pinning down Benmore on a map

Benmore Gardens doesn't appear as a separate area in the 2011 Census; its streets were counted with neighbouring suburbs. It is still a recognised suburb name on OpenStreetMap and with estate agents, so it's the name most residents give when they book.

Benmore Road runs through it. For directions, two places most drivers know are the Benmore Centre shopping centre, near the Grayston Drive end of Benmore Road, and Crawford International on Shrublands Drive. Tell us which one you're closer to, and the cross street, and we'll find you quickly.

A small suburb with three housing types

Seeff estimates there are fewer than 600 homes in Benmore Gardens. They include family houses with large gardens, cluster homes inside estates, and apartment complexes. Each sets up a lockout differently:

• Houses on big stands. The door with the problem is often at the back of the house, such as a kitchen or garden door, and may be behind a security gate. Let us know which gate a visitor should use.
• Clusters in estates. Waterstone Estate, on Benmore Road, is one example of a residential estate in the suburb. Estates usually expect visitors to be pre-registered, so please do that before we arrive.
• Apartment complexes. You'll normally need to buzz us in or meet us at the entrance, and give the floor and block.

Garden doors and outbuildings

With large gardens come extra doors: pool rooms, garden sheds, staff quarters and side gates. Their locks are used less often, so they tend to seize and are forgotten until a key won't turn. If you're booking a visit for one problem, mention the others too. Several stiff or worn locks can usually be looked at in the same visit, and the technician can tell you which are worth repairing and which should be replaced. Our guide on why a lock goes stiff explains the usual causes.

Next door to the CBD

Benmore Gardens borders the business district. If the problem is at an office, a hotel or a tower block in Sandton's commercial core rather than at your home, see the Sandton Central locksmith page. It covers access through building management and security desks.

What it costs

There's no fixed price list, because the lock, the door and the parts needed all vary. Before any work starts, the technician explains what's wrong and what the fix involves. Call-out: R250 call-out fee. Quotations: The technician assesses the job on site and gives you the price before any work starts. Nothing is done until you agree. Payment: EFT, cash or card
