Mobile Locksmith in Edenburg
If your lease or title deed says Edenburg but everyone calls the area Rivonia, you're in the right place. At Mobile Locksmith Sandton, we're a fully mobile locksmith service: we come to your flat, house, consulting room or shop and work on the lock where it is. Edenburg is part of our regular mobile locksmith in Sandton area.
Why the paperwork says Edenburg
Edenburg is named after the farm the land came from. Over time the area became known as Rivonia, after Rivonia Road, but Seeff notes that the change was never formally made in the Deeds Office. That's why property documents, sectional-title plans and office listings often say Edenburg, while signs, maps and most people say Rivonia. Wikipedia describes Edenburg as a section of Rivonia.
The census draws the line differently from everyday speech. Its "Edenburg" covers Rivonia Boulevard and the central stretch of Rivonia Road, which most people would call the middle of Rivonia. Its "Rivonia" is the smaller residential area to the north, around George Avenue. That area has its own page: locksmith in Rivonia.
When you book, use whichever name you like, but please give us the street number and the building name. Those matter far more than the suburb.
Mostly flats, with houses and clusters too
At the 2011 Census, Edenburg had about 4,300 residents in some 1,900 households on just under 3 km². Seeff estimates more than 3,000 homes, most of them apartments, with nearly 1,000 freestanding houses and cluster homes. If you live in a flat here, a locksmith visit usually involves:
- a street gate or lobby door, often on an intercom or access tag;
- a stairwell or lift up to your floor;
- a unit front door, often with a burglar-proof security gate in front of it.
Tell us which of these is the problem. A lobby door or common-area gate usually belongs to the body corporate or managing agent, not the unit owner, so they may need to approve the work. The lock on your own unit door is normally your responsibility, though scheme rules may control the type of lock you fit.
Consulting rooms and small businesses
Edenburg is where Rivonia's commercial property is concentrated, including shopping centres such as The Cloisters, and many doctors, dentists and other practitioners have consulting rooms here. Small practices and shops have their own lock needs: a reception door that has to lock reliably at closing time, a records room that only some staff should open, or a back door that has been forced. Our commercial locksmith service handles these. After an attempted break-in, see break-in lock repairs.
Getting to you in a busy area
Rivonia Boulevard and the nearby centres are busy, and parking can be the hardest part of the visit. It helps if you tell us:
- the building or centre name and whether we should use a basement, a visitors' bay or the street;
- whether a security guard or building manager needs to escort a contractor;
- which entrance to use if the building has several;
- a contact number for someone on site if you're waiting elsewhere.
Price and approval
We explain the options before any work starts: freeing and adjusting a lock, replacing a cylinder, or fitting a new lock. If someone else, such as a landlord or managing agent, has to approve the cost, we can wait while you check. 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.

Edenburg: questions customers ask
My lease says Edenburg. Is that the same as Rivonia?
For a locksmith visit, yes. Edenburg is the formal name for much of what people call Rivonia. Just give us the full street address.
Who pays for a lobby door lock in my block?
Usually the body corporate, through the managing agent, because it's a common-property door. Check with them before you book. We can work on your unit's own door at your request.
What should I send before you replace our practice's front-door lock?
A photo of the lock from both sides and one of the door's edge with the door open. That shows the lock type and size, so the technician can bring a suitable replacement to look at.
