Mobile Locksmith in Inanda

Which Inanda?

There are two well-known places called Inanda in South Africa, and they're a long way apart:

• Inanda, Sandton (Johannesburg, Gauteng): a residential suburb on Rivonia Road, about 1.5 km from Sandton City. This is the area we serve.
• Inanda, KwaZulu-Natal: a large township about 21 km north-west of Durban, in the eThekwini metro. We don't work there.

Search results for "locksmith Inanda" can mix the two. If you're in KwaZulu-Natal, you'll need a locksmith who works in that province.

Where Inanda ends and its neighbours begin

The name Inanda is used more widely than the census boundary. Wikipedia places the Inanda Club and St David's Marist Inanda in Inanda, but on the 2011 Census map both grounds fall in neighbouring Chislehurston. The numbered avenues that run through Inanda also continue into Illovo, so "6th Avenue" alone doesn't tell us which end you're at.

None of this changes whether we can help, because we cover Inanda, Chislehurston and Illovo alike. It does help to give us your street number and the nearest cross street, such as Elm Drive or Boundary Road, rather than the suburb name alone.

A small suburb

Inanda is compact. The 2011 Census counted about 840 residents in 446 households on just over half a square kilometre. Because it's so small, a street name and number is usually all we need to find a home here. The details that matter more are the ones about the property itself:

• whether there's a gate or intercom at the street, and who can open it for us;
• which door is giving trouble, and whether a security gate stands in front of it;
• a photo of the lock from the outside, if you can take one safely.

Typical lock problems in Inanda homes

• Locked out: the door has latched behind you, or the keys are lost. See emergency lockout help.
• A key that turns but doesn't open the door: often a worn mechanism or a bolt catching on the strike plate. Our guide on a key that turns but won't unlock the door explains the usual causes.
• A gate or door lock that's getting harder to turn: often fixable with a lock repair if you catch it early.
• Keys you can't account for after a move, a lost bag or a change of domestic staff: see lock replacement.

What it costs

We don't publish fixed prices because the right fix depends on the lock and the door. 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. Our article on what affects the price of a mobile locksmith visit explains the main factors.
