Mobile Locksmith in Craigavon

A neighbourhood within Witkoppen

You won't find Craigavon in the 2011 Census tables. Its residents were counted as part of the larger Witkoppen sub-place, which also includes Fourways Mall. OpenStreetMap marks Craigavon as a suburb of its own, and older records use the name Craigavon AH, a reminder that the land was once divided into agricultural holdings.

The name also belongs to a town in Northern Ireland, so when you search for a locksmith in Craigavon, add “Fourways” or “Sandton” to stay local. For the wider census area, see locksmith in Witkoppen.

From open veld to gated living

Property profiles describe Craigavon as a place that was dirt roads and open veld not long ago. It now has just over 600 homes: entry-level houses, large residences in gated communities, apartments and well-priced cluster homes popular with young families. Most of these are behind some kind of shared entrance, so the technician's first job is getting through it. Before the visit:

• tell us the development's name and whether it has a guardhouse, an intercom or an app-generated code;
• let security know a locksmith is coming, if your estate expects that;
• say where a visitor's vehicle can stop. Some complexes have only a few visitor bays.

Getting to you

Cedar Avenue is the main road through the neighbourhood, Campbell Road also crosses it, and Cedar Square shopping centre is the landmark most people know. If your complex entrance is on a side road, tell us which turn to take from Cedar Avenue, or how far it is from Cedar Square. That's usually enough to find the gate first time.

Common problems on cluster-home doors

Cluster homes often have a mix of door types: a solid front door, a sliding patio door and a door between the garage and the house. Each fails in its own way:

• A front door that only locks when slammed or held shut usually needs the latch and strike realigned, not a new lock. See doors that lock open but not closed.
• A sliding door that has stopped catching may have moved on its track. Describe it when you call.
• The garage-to-house door is easy to forget, but if the garage remote is lost or stolen, that lock is all that stands between the garage and your home.
