Mobile Locksmith in Freeway Park

Gated streets in the south of Freeway Park

OpenStreetMap shows private gates across a run of streets in the southern part of Freeway Park: Brabant, Erinvale, Nederburg, Huckleberry, Nektaar, Boog and Libertas roads, with a boom on Brabant Road. In practice that means the quickest route on a map may end at a locked gate.

When you call from this side:

• tell us which gate or boom is open at that time of night;
• if the gate opens with a remote that's now locked in the house or car, ask a neighbour to meet the technician;
• give us your house number and street, spelt out. The streets carry wine-farm names, such as Nederburg, Morgenster, Laborie and Hazendal, which are easy to mishear.

Houses with room for two households

Of the 24 Freeway Park properties on Property24 when we checked, 17 were houses. Listings keep returning to the same theme: a separate one-bedroom flat, dual living for extended families, a stand of more than 1,300 m², even a large house on Brabant Road pitched as a possible guest business. Townhouses in complexes such as Woodgreen on Constantia Road make up most of the rest.

Two households on one erf usually means two sets of keys and a shared driveway gate. If one side moves out, or a key goes astray, you can change the locks on the flat without touching the main house. We don't cut copies, so pick a lock that comes with enough keys for everyone.

Groeneweide: fish streets and new villas

Groeneweide, south of Freeway Park and off Heidelberg Road, had 1,889 people at the 2011 census. Its streets are named after fish: Tongvis Road, Kabeljou Street, Steenbras Avenue, Katonkel Street and Marlin Street among them. Listings show houses, some with a garden cottage, duplex townhouses, and Sunset Palms, a new estate of villas being built on plot-and-plan terms. If your home is new, ask the builder or estate how many keys were issued during construction; if nobody knows, new cylinders are a sensible move.

Klippoortje, or Klippoortjie

The census and Property24 spell it Klippoortje; OpenStreetMap and many listings write Klippoortjie. Both are the same place, the furthest south of the three, near Forsdick Road and North Boundary Road. It's the busiest of the three for sectional title: of 91 listings, 43 were flats, in complexes such as Park Square. Houses here are often in boomed or enclosed sections, according to their listings.

Several streets have a science theme, among them Atom, Beaker, Burette, Molecule and Physics streets, while others are named after thorn trees, such as Kameeldoring and Soetdoring. The Sasol garage near Forsdick and North Boundary roads is a useful meeting point.

Finding Freeway Park homes

Inside Freeway Park, Kingfisher Avenue is the road most people know, with an Engen garage, a Wimpy and a Quickshop together near Stellen Road. Rondebult Road and Kingfisher Avenue both run on into Sunward Park, so if you're right on the edge, tell us which side of the boundary you're on.

What you pay

R250 call-out. The technician assesses the job on site and gives you the price before any work starts. Nothing is done until you agree. Pay by EFT, cash or card. The technician asks for proof that you live at, or own, the property before opening a door, car or safe, and starts with entry methods that leave the lock intact.
