Mobile Locksmith in Ravenswood
Ravenswood is complex country. Most of the homes for sale here are flats and townhouses in secure blocks, with a smaller number of freehold houses in between. At Mobile Locksmith Boksburg, we're a fully mobile locksmith service, so we come to your unit with everything needed for the job in the vehicle: no shop, no counter, no queue. Ravenswood falls inside our Boksburg mobile locksmith area, and you can call us at night or over a weekend.

Tell us the complex, not just the street
A single address on 10th Avenue or Paul Smit Street can be a gate with dozens of units behind it. Ravenswood Mews and Rosewood On 10th are both on 10th Avenue, Martha's Vineyard is on Paul Smit Street, and there are many more. When you book, give us:
- the complex name and street number
- your block and unit number
- whether the guard or the gate needs a code or a call to let the technician in
10th Avenue also runs north into Beyers Park, so say "Ravenswood" as well. If you're on that side, see our locksmith in Beyers Park page.
Your door, or the body corporate's?
In a sectional-title complex, who decides depends on which lock it is:
| Lock | Usually decided by |
|---|---|
| Your unit's front door and security gate | The owner of the unit |
| Your garage or carport store | The owner of the unit (check your conduct rules) |
| Complex vehicle gate, pedestrian gate, refuse room, common doors | The body corporate, through the trustees or managing agent |
If you rent, ask your landlord or agent before changing a lock, because many leases cover it. A lockout is different: you can call us for that yourself. We'll ask for proof that you live in the unit before we open it.
Common jobs in a flat
- Locked out: the door closed behind you with the key inside. We try non-destructive entry first.
- Key snapped in the lock: leave it alone rather than digging at it. See broken key stuck in the lock.
- Security gate in front of the door: the lock has stiffened, or the gate has dropped so the bolt won't meet the keep.
- New tenant or new owner: you've just moved in and don't know how many keys are out there. Changing the cylinder is usually the quickest answer.
Houses and new builds
Ravenswood also has freehold houses, including a few brand-new ones, and new simplex units are being sold straight from developers. For a new home, the builder and subcontractors have usually handled the keys. That's a good reason to have the outside cylinders changed once you move in. Lock replacement covers what's involved.
Finding your way around
Ravenswood mixes numbered avenues, from 2nd Avenue in the west to 13th Avenue in the east, with a pocket of streets named after South African mountain passes. Those sit between 10th and 13th Avenue: Swartberg Road, Maluti Road, Bloukrans Street, Langkloof Street, Hex River Street, Sani Road and Van Reenen Street. Trichardts Road, Ravenswood Road, Rondebult Road and Rietfontein Road all pass through or along the suburb. Martin Primary School is a handy landmark if you're describing where you are.
R250 call-out, then a quote
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. You can pay by EFT, cash or card. For more on what a visit involves, read what a mobile locksmith costs in Boksburg.

Ravenswood: questions customers ask
I'm a tenant and I've lost my keys. Can you change the lock?
We can, but check with your landlord or rental agent first, since your lease probably says who approves and pays for it. If you're locked out right now, call us: we'll get you in and you can sort out the lock change afterwards.
Can you open my storeroom or garage in the complex?
Yes, if it's yours. Bring proof that you own or rent the unit it belongs to. If it's a shared or common-property room, the managing agent needs to approve it.
Do you make spare keys for the complex gate?
No. We don't cut or copy keys, and gate remotes and tags come from your body corporate.
