Locksmiths in Claremont
Doors, offices, cars, locks, keys and safes, across the middle of the Southern Suburbs.
AAA Locksmiths works Claremont out of the Claremont branch, and Claremont is one of the areas where there are premises behind the number rather than only a van. Phone 021 674 5550 and you are talking to the people who dispatch the technician, not to a call centre in another province that sells the job on to whoever is closest.
Claremont is two suburbs stacked on top of each other. There is the commercial half — Cavendish Square, the Main Road strip, Stadium on Main, and floor after floor of offices and consulting rooms above the shops — and there is the quiet residential half behind it, running up Vineyard Road and across towards Harfield Village. The first half phones about staff who have left with a key, doors that have to be secured before trading opens, and cars locked in a parking garage. The second half phones about front doors, gates and lost keys.
The branch covers Claremont itself and the suburbs pressed up against it — Newlands, Rondebosch, Kenilworth, Bishopscourt, Harfield Village and Lansdowne — and reaches down Main Road towards Wynberg. Tell us the street and we will tell you honestly how long we will be.

Services we do in Claremont
Everything below is work the Claremont branch does in this area. Follow a link for the detail, or phone and describe what has happened.
What happens when you call from Claremont
The branch needs three things to give you a real arrival time: where you are, what has happened, and what you are locked out of.
- 01Give us the street
Claremont, Newlands, Rondebosch, Kenilworth, Bishopscourt or Harfield Village. In an office block, the building name and floor saves the most time.
- 02Describe the lock or the car
A gate, a front door, an office door, a safe or a vehicle. For a car we need the make, model and year before the technician leaves.
- 03You get the price first
The full amount is agreed on the call. Nobody starts work on a number you have not heard.
- 04The van comes to you
A marked AAA vehicle and a locksmith who can identify himself. The work is tested with you before we leave.
Why a Claremont number matters
A local line, and premises behind it, are the two things a fake listing cannot copy.
Search "locksmith near me" from Claremont and some of what comes back is a national number wearing a local name. The call is answered somewhere else, the job is passed on, and the person who arrives is a stranger to both you and the business you thought you phoned.
021 674 5550 rings the Claremont branch. The team there knows the difference between Claremont and Claremont Upper, knows which Cavendish entrance you are standing at when you say "the parkade", and knows what Main Road does between four and six. They can tell you where the technician actually is rather than guessing at a number that sounds reassuring.
It also means we know what this suburb calls about. Claremont is a working commercial centre with residential wrapped around it, so a normal week is a mix: a suite of offices that needs the cylinders changed the afternoon somebody resigns, a body corporate that wants one master key instead of a drawer full, and a family in a Vineyard Road house who have lost the only key to a gate that has been on the property longer than they have.

Questions from the Southern Suburbs
The things people ask the Claremont branch before they agree to a callout. If yours is not here, ask it on the phone.
How long does it take to reach Claremont?
It depends on the street and what Main Road and the M3 are doing at that hour. The branch gives you a time from where the technician actually is when you call, and tells you if it is going to be long.
Do you cover Newlands, Rondebosch and Kenilworth as well?
Yes. The same Claremont branch and the same number covers Claremont, Newlands, Rondebosch, Kenilworth, Bishopscourt, Harfield Village and Rosebank, and reaches Mowbray, Lansdowne and Wynberg.
An employee has left and still has keys to the office. What are my options?
Usually the cylinders are changed rather than the whole lock, which is quicker and cheaper. If the building has several tenants it is often the moment to put in a master key system instead, so the next time this happens it is one cylinder and not the whole floor.
Can you open my door without damaging it?
Usually. Most residential locks can be picked open, which leaves the door and the lock exactly as they were. Some genuinely cannot, and when yours is one of them we say so before anybody starts.
Are you open at night and over weekends?
The line is answered 24 hours a day, every day of the week, including public holidays. Nights and weekends are a normal part of the work rather than an exception.
My keys are locked in the car at Cavendish. Can you help there?
Yes, in the parking garage where the car is standing. Have the make, model, year and whether you still have another working key, and the technician will bring the right equipment first time.
Will I know the price before you arrive?
Yes. The full amount is agreed on the phone before anybody leaves the branch. If what we find on site changes the job, we stop and tell you before doing anything else.
How do I know the person at my door is really from AAA?
The vehicle is marked, the technician carries identification, and the branch can tell you on the phone who is on the way. If anything does not match, do not open — phone 021 674 5550 and check.
