Mobile Locksmith in Duxberry
Duxberry is small, but it's on our map. At Mobile Locksmith Sandton, we're a fully mobile locksmith service, so a technician drives to your home with the tools and parts, and you don't need to go anywhere. It's one of the smaller pockets served by our mobile locksmith in Sandton.
A small pocket off Coleraine Drive
At the 2011 Census Duxberry had about 680 residents in roughly 260 households, on 0.41 km², about a tenth of the size of neighbouring River Club. Its only census neighbours are River Club and Morningside.
Coleraine Drive runs through the suburb, and the side roads off it are the ones to name when you book: Vincent Avenue, Oak Avenue, David Avenue, Kiepersol Avenue, North Road, and short lanes such as Wendy Lane, Larry Lane and Mervyn Lane. The mosque in Duxberry, mapped as Musid Ud Duha, is another easy landmark to mention.
Duxberry or Duxbury?
Both spellings turn up. The census and OpenStreetMap use Duxberry, while some local businesses write Duxbury. If a delivery app or online map can't find your address under one spelling, try the other, or simply send us a pin. Either way, it's the same few streets between River Club and Morningside.
The boom on Oak Avenue
OpenStreetMap marks a double boom across Oak Avenue in the northern part of the suburb. We don't know how it's run day to day, so please tell us when you book:
- whether your house is reached through that boom or from Coleraine Drive;
- whether the boom is manned or operated by residents;
- who should be told that a locksmith is coming.
If the boom is open to visitors, a street number and a brief description of the gate are usually enough.
What to send before the visit
A quick photo of the lock face and a short description of what it's doing save time on arrival, so the right parts are in the van. Useful details: the type of door (wooden, steel security gate, aluminium sliding door), whether the key turns at all, and whether the lock has been giving trouble for a while or failed suddenly. If you suspect someone tried to force it, say so; that's a different job, covered by lock repair after a break-in.
Jobs we handle at Duxberry homes
- Locked out, with the keys inside or lost: see emergency lockout help.
- A key snapped in the cylinder: keep the broken piece and don't push it further in. Our guide on a broken key in a lock explains why.
- Locks that are wearing out, sticking or not latching.
- New locks when you move in, so old keys stop working.
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.

Duxberry: questions customers ask
Is Duxberry part of River Club?
No, it's a separate suburb, though they share a long boundary. River Club has its own page: locksmith in River Club.
Can you come if I can't open the boom myself?
Yes, as long as someone can let us through, whether that's a neighbour, a guard or a resident with a remote. Arrange it when you book so we're not waiting outside.
Do you cut spare keys while you're here?
No, we don't cut or copy keys. A new lock comes with its own set of keys from the manufacturer.
