Mobile Locksmith in Glenadrienne

Two halves, one name

The census treats Glenadrienne as two separate pieces, and they feel quite different on the ground:

• The western part, west of Winnie Mandela Drive, is residential: streets such as Iona Drive, Saint Andrews Road, Maxwell Macdonald Street, Arbroath Avenue and Kildare Road, with the Braamfontein Spruit and its trail running through. In 2011 it had about 470 residents in 190 households.
• The eastern part, along Winnie Mandela Drive and Minerva Avenue near Holt Street West and Mattie Avenue, had only about 200 residents in 2011, but it's where the Sandton Gate precinct now stands.

Together the two parts cover only about half a square kilometre. Whichever half you're in, and whether your address says Glenadrienne, Glen Adrienne or Glenadrienne East, this is the right page.

Sandton Gate: flats, shops and offices

Sandton Gate is a mixed-use precinct beside the spruit, with office space, shops and apartments. Shops there use addresses such as 7 Minerva Avenue, Glenadrienne. A locksmith visit to a building like this works differently from a house call:

• Apartments: tell us the building and unit number, and arrange how we'll get through the lobby or concierge. If building management must approve a lock change, ask them before the visit.
• Offices: let us know who can authorise the work and whether there's a loading or contractor entrance we should use.
• Shops: say whether the problem is the shop front, a back door or a storeroom, and when the premises are quiet enough for work.

For business premises, our commercial locksmith page explains what we ask for and why.

Houses on the western side

For a house in the western half, the usual reasons to call are a lockout, a lock that has started to stick, or wanting the locks changed after a move. Before you call, it's worth trying the steps in our guide to a stiff door lock: some causes, like a door that has dropped slightly, are easy to spot without touching the lock's internals. Don't force a key that won't turn; it may snap and turn a small job into a broken key extraction.

Giving directions

Because Glenadrienne straddles a busy road, please say which side of Winnie Mandela Drive (formerly William Nicol Drive) you're on. On the eastern side, Minerva Avenue and Holt Street West are the clearest references. On the western side, name the street off Saint Andrews Road or Iona Drive. A dropped pin also works well.

We'll explain the problem and the price before starting any work. 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.
