Local Locksmith Professionals
A 24 hour mobile locksmith working across Boksburg and its suburbs. Call 079 106 5911 or WhatsApp us.
We are a mobile locksmith service covering Boksburg: the CBD, the northern and southern suburbs, the estates on the Sunward Park and Parkrand side, Vosloorus, Dawn Park and the areas in between. There is no shop to drive to. The work happens at your door, your gate or your car.
The jobs are the ordinary ones: doors that will not open, keys that have snapped, locks that have been getting stiffer for two years, keys that need replacing after a move or a break-in, and car keys that are lost, broken or no longer talking to the vehicle. Our vehicles carry key-cutting equipment and transponder and remote programming gear, so most of it is finished on site rather than booked in for another day.
We work through the night, over weekends and on public holidays, because that is when most of these calls happen.
Search for a locksmith in Boksburg and you will find plenty of numbers to phone and almost no numbers to plan around. We checked: not one of the sites ranking on page one for locksmith Boksburg publishes a single rand figure. One of them has a heading called “Locksmith Prices” with nothing underneath it.
That is not an accident, and it is the thing people complain about most. So we publish the ranges instead. The Boksburg locksmith price guide sets out what call-outs, house and car lockouts, rekeying, lock replacement and car key programming typically cost, compiled from published South African sources, and it explains the part that catches people out at midnight.
Briefly: South African locksmiths handle after-hours work in two completely different ways. Some charge their normal rate plus a call-out surcharge. Others switch to a flat emergency tariff regardless of how simple the job turns out to be. For the same midnight lockout that is roughly a R900 bill against a R3 000 one. So ask the question, of us and of anyone else you phone: “Is that your normal rate plus a call-out, or an emergency rate?”
We will ask what the lock is, where you are, and whether anyone is in danger. A photo on WhatsApp answers the first question faster than any description. Send one if you can.
Then you get an honest estimate of how long we will be, based on where the vehicle actually is at that moment. We do not print a fixed number of minutes on this website. Nobody can hold a promise like that across Boksburg at three in the morning, and the ones who make it are guessing.
You will also get a price range on the phone before we drive out, along with what would push the job to the top or the bottom of it. If we get there and it turns out to be a different job to the one described, we tell you what changed before we start, not afterwards.
We ask for ID and something showing the place or the vehicle is yours: a lease, a municipal bill, a licence disc, registration papers. A locksmith who skips that step for you will skip it for the next person at your door.
Drilling is faster and it sells you a replacement lock. Where the lock can be opened without damage, that is what we do, and you keep the hardware you already paid for.
Anyone who commits to an exact figure before seeing the lock is either guessing or planning to revise it at your gate. You get a range and the reasons it moves.
Most homes need three points improved, not a full replacement of every lock on the property. If a repair will do, we will say so. It is a fraction of the cost of a replacement.
