Mobile Locksmith in Boksburg West

What's for sale tells you what's here

On 11 November 2026, Property24 listed 76 properties in Boksburg West: 50 flats, 17 houses, 6 townhouses and three other properties. The flats are mostly in secure complexes, and the adverts mention Smithfields on Rietfontein Road and blocks on Bass Street, as well as a complex with a guard at the gate. On the house side, several adverts describe homes "in a secure enclosure" or "a secure gated enclosure", and one describes a heritage home. Property24 also shows a new development, Royal Residenz, under Boksburg West.

The 2011 census counted 1,418 people in 480 households on 0.63 km², so the suburb is compact: a few streets either side of Rietfontein Road.

Augusta Estate and the gated enclosures

Property24 lists sectional-title duplexes in Augusta Estate under Boksburg West, and the advert we read describes access control, electric fencing and CCTV there. OpenStreetMap also shows private vehicle gates on Lovemore Street and Bass Street.

Behind a gate like that, plan for the technician's arrival:

1. Tell security or your neighbours that a locksmith is coming, and give our company name.
2. If the access tag or remote is locked inside, arrange for someone to let us in.
3. Have proof of residence ready: your ID with a lease, a municipal account or a levy statement.

Our guide to being locked out of a security-estate home goes into more detail.

Rietfontein Road, Ravenswood and the mall

Rietfontein Road is the spine of Boksburg West and the easiest reference when you call. Along it, OpenStreetMap shows the N.G. Gemeente Boksburg-Wes church and a BP service station at 54 Rietfontein Road. Heading north, Rietfontein Road takes you past Morganridge towards East Rand Mall.

The eastern side of Boksburg West runs into Ravenswood, and the line between them isn't always clear in property adverts: one Boksburg West advert describes its flat as being "in the heart of Ravenswood". If you live in that border area, either name works for us, as long as you give the street. See also locksmith in Ravenswood and locksmith in Morganridge.

Typical jobs in a flat or a big house

In the complexes, the calls are usually a front-door lockout, a cylinder that turns but won't open, or a key snapped off in the lock; for that last one, read broken key stuck in the lock before you touch it. In the larger homes, it's more often a garage or sliding door that won't lock, or a whole set of locks that a new owner wants replaced. We do lock repairs, broken-key extraction and lock replacement on site, with a quote before any work.

Fees and payment

R250 call-out fee. The technician assesses the job on site and gives you the price before any work starts. Nothing is done until you agree. We accept EFT, cash or card. Non-destructive entry is always tried first.
