Where AAA Locksmiths actually is

Cape Town, roughly 1,000km from Bloemfontein. That is the whole of the honest answer.

If you have landed here because you searched for a locksmith in Bloemfontein and you are standing outside a locked door right now, the useful thing we can tell you is this: we are not the ones to phone for that. AAA Locksmiths works out of branches in and around Cape Town. We cannot reach a Free State address tonight, and any page that suggested otherwise would be wasting the one thing you do not currently have, which is time.

What 073 444 3773 is good for is everything that is not an emergency at your door. Advice on a lock, a safe or a key system, from people who fit them every day. A specification you can hand to a local locksmith so you know what you are buying. Work on a Cape Town property you own from a distance. And planned work anywhere, which we will quote honestly, including the part about travel, or decline if we are the wrong people for it.

What happens when you phone from Bloemfontein

Three steps, and the first one is the honest one.

  1. 01
    You get told where we are

    Cape Town. If you need somebody at a Free State door in the next hour, we will say so straight away rather than taking your details first.

  2. 02
    We answer the question anyway

    Locks, safes, keys and security hardware are what we know. If a specification, a second opinion or a straight explanation is useful to you, the call is worth making.

  3. 03
    Anything we can arrange, we quote honestly

    Planned work, work on a Cape Town property, or something a local trade needs briefing on. The price and what is realistic are agreed up front, including the distance.

Why this page says less than the others

Because there is less that is true, and padding it out would be the dishonest bit.

Every other area page on this site names real streets, real routes and a real branch number, because a locksmith who works a place knows it. We do not work Bloemfontein. Writing three paragraphs about the Free State to make this page match the others in length would be inventing local knowledge to rank for a search we cannot serve, and the person it fooled would be somebody locked out at midnight a thousand kilometres from our nearest van.

So this is what is true. 073 444 3773 is answered 24 hours a day by our own team. AAA Locksmiths has been a registered locksmith business since 1999, is PSiRA registered under number 1827493, and works from branch premises across Cape Town. If you are in Bloemfontein and your question is about a lock rather than about tonight, phone it. If it is about tonight, phone a locksmith in your own city — and check that they are PSiRA registered before you let them near your door, which is advice worth more to you right now than anything else on this page.

  • Insurance approved work and a written price before anybody starts

The four questions worth answering

Deliberately short. There is no point writing eight answers about a city we do not have a van in.

Do you have a locksmith in Bloemfontein?

No. AAA Locksmiths is a Cape Town business with branches around the Cape Peninsula and no branch in the Free State. If a page anywhere suggests we have a Bloemfontein van, that page is wrong.

I am locked out in Bloemfontein right now. Can you help?

Not tonight, and we would rather tell you that in one sentence than take your address first. Phone a locksmith in Bloemfontein. Before they start, ask for their PSiRA registration number and get the full price agreed on the phone — those two questions are what protect you, and they are the same two we would want asked of us.

Then what is 073 444 3773 for?

It is our 24 hour line, answered by our own team in Cape Town. Use it for advice on locks, safes, keys or security hardware, for a specification you can take to a local locksmith, for work on a Cape Town property you own from elsewhere, or to ask whether something can be arranged. We will tell you honestly if the answer is no.

Can you quote me for work in Bloemfontein anyway?

Ask, and you will get a straight answer rather than an optimistic one. For most jobs the honest response is that a local locksmith will do it better and cheaper because they are already there. Where there is genuinely something we can arrange, the quote will include the distance rather than hiding it.

In Bloemfontein and it can wait?

Phone 073 444 3773 for advice from a Cape Town locksmith. If it cannot wait, phone someone local — and ask for their PSiRA number.
