Mobile Locksmith in Impala Park

Streets named after aircraft

Impala Park is easy to recognise on a map: almost every street is named after an aircraft or an aircraft engine. You'll find Beechcraft Avenue, Concorde Avenue, Boeing Road, Cessna Street, Lockheed Street and Mirage Road next to Rolls Royce Street and Marbore Street. De Havilland Avenue and Dakota Road run along one side.

That's helpful when you call us, because "Concorde Avenue, Impala Park" can only mean one place. Give us the house number too, and the complex and block if you're in a flat. Elizabeth Road and Finch Street are the busier roads through the suburb, so they're good reference points for directions.

Freehold houses on full stands

Houses for sale in Impala Park mostly stand on 800 to 1,000 square metre plots, with a garage, a yard and a wall or palisade at the street. Calls from houses tend to be about:

• a front or kitchen door whose key turns but won't throw the bolt
• a security gate in front of the door that has jammed or lost its key
• a garage side door or an inside door from the garage into the house
• replacing the locks after moving in, or after keys were lost

If the key is snapped off in a lock, leave the broken piece where it is and don't try superglue or a hairpin. Our broken-key guide explains why.

Flats and secure complexes

There are also complexes of flats, such as Marbore Court on Marbore Street and the Impala Lake complex with its shared facilities. Some complexes advertise a pool and a guard on duty. If you live in one, a few points will save time:

1. Tell us the complex name, block and unit number when you book.
2. Let the guard or the complex gate know a locksmith is coming. We have no arrangement with any complex.
3. Your unit's front door and security gate are usually your responsibility. Locks on the complex gate and common areas are the body corporate's, so check with your managing agent before we touch those.

Landlords with let units

Some Impala Park properties are let as more than one home. One recent listing describes a corner house divided into three self-contained units with three tenants. If that's your set-up, each unit has its own doors, its own keys and its own turnover of tenants. When a tenant moves out without handing back all the keys, changing that unit's cylinder is quicker and cheaper than replacing the whole lock. We'll quote on site before doing anything. See lock replacement.

Witkoppie Ridge, next door

Witkoppie Ridge borders Impala Park on the west, and its streets are named after lighthouses and points on the coast, such as Agulhas, Slangkop and Saint Blaize. We cover it on our locksmith in Bartlett page.

Price and payment

The call-out is R250. 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 will ask for proof that you live at the property, or that the car or safe is yours, before opening it.
