Mobile Locksmith in New Brighton

Which New Brighton?

The name is shared. Another New Brighton in South Africa is the township in Nelson Mandela Bay (Port Elizabeth) in the Eastern Cape, and there are others abroad. We only work in Sandton, so if you're searching from the Eastern Cape, this isn't the right service for you.

When you contact us from New Brighton in Sandton, adding "Sandton" and your street name to the message avoids any mix-up, especially on WhatsApp or when a map app offers the wrong New Brighton first.

Where it is

New Brighton is a narrow strip along Winnie Mandela Drive (called William Nicol Drive until 2023), running north from Glenadrienne, past the junction with Republic Road, towards River Club. The Braamfontein Spruit and its walking trail run through it. At the 2011 Census it had about 470 residents but only 106 households, on 0.50 km², so much of the land isn't houses at all: OpenStreetMap shows the Field and Study Centre's green space, stables and the spruit corridor here.

Useful landmarks for directions:

• Thyme on Nicol, a small retail centre directly on Winnie Mandela Drive;
• Brighton Road, with King Edward Street, Charles Road, Louise Avenue and Mattie Avenue nearby;
• the Republic Road junction, where Republic Road meets Winnie Mandela Drive.

Private road sections

OpenStreetMap shows Brighton Road as a private road, with a gate near where it meets Charles Road and King Edward Street. If you live on it, please tell us how a visitor gets past that gate, and whether someone needs to open it for us. On a busy road like Winnie Mandela Drive, it also helps to say which side of the road your entrance is on and which turn-off leads to it.

Homes and small businesses

With few households and a strip of shops on the main road, New Brighton calls can be residential or commercial. At home, the usual problems are lockouts, keys that have snapped, and locks that have become hard to turn. At a shop or office, it's more often a door that won't lock at closing time or a lock that needs changing after keys go missing. See home lock services or business lock services for what each involves.

Before any work, the technician explains what's wrong and what it will cost. 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.
