Locksmiths across the Northern Suburbs
Homes, cars, offices and industrial premises, from Goodwood out to Kraaifontein.
The Northern Suburbs are worked from one place: the Bellville branch, on 021 914 7949. That single number covers the whole region, which means the person who takes your call can see where every van already is instead of forwarding you to whoever happens to bid for the job.
A region this wide does not have one kind of work. Durbanville and Welgemoed phone about houses, complexes and gate locks. Tygervalley phones about office key plans and cars locked in parking decks. Stikland and Epping phone about roller shutters, padlocks and premises that have to be opened before a shift starts. Parow, Goodwood and Bellville itself sit in between and phone about all of it. The vans are stocked accordingly rather than for one profile.
Coverage runs Bellville, Parow, Goodwood, Durbanville, Brackenfell, Kraaifontein, Kuils River, Tygervalley, Stikland and the suburbs between them. Name the suburb and the street when you call and you will be told which van is nearest and how long it honestly needs.

What happens when you call from the Northern Suburbs
Across a region this size the first question is which van is closest, and that is decided by three things you tell us.
- 01Suburb, then street
Bellville, Parow, Durbanville, Brackenfell, Kraaifontein, Kuils River or Goodwood. The suburb picks the van; the street sets the time.
- 02What kind of premises
A house, a flat, an office, a shop, an industrial unit or a vehicle. It decides which technician and which stock go out.
- 03Price before dispatch
The amount is agreed on the call, whichever suburb you are in. Nobody begins work on a figure you have not heard.
- 04The nearest van, not the nearest bidder
A marked AAA vehicle and a technician who identifies himself. Everything is tested with you before he signs off.
How the Northern Suburbs are dispatched
This is a region rather than a neighbourhood, and how the work is allocated across it is the whole difference.
Everything on this page runs through the Bellville branch. When 021 914 7949 rings, the person answering knows which vehicles are out, which suburb each one is in and what it is finishing, and sends the closest. That is the practical reason a regional page exists: a call from Kraaifontein and a call from Goodwood are forty minutes apart, and the only way either gets a truthful arrival time is if one desk holds both.
It works outward from Bellville in every direction — Parow and Goodwood towards the city, Tygervalley and Welgemoed to the north, Durbanville and the estates beyond it, Brackenfell and Kraaifontein along the N1, Kuils River and the Stikland belt to the east. Traffic decides more than distance does. The branch will tell you which of those you are competing with at that hour rather than quoting a flat number to every caller.
The mix of work shifts as you cross the region, and so does what the technician brings. Older housing stock through Parow and Bellville still carries its original mortice hardware. The newer estates around Durbanville and Brackenfell are gates, remotes and complex access. Tygervalley is offices and parking decks. Stikland and Epping are shutters, padlocks and commercial cylinders. Say which suburb you are in early in the call — it changes what goes on the van before it leaves.

Questions from across the region
What people ask when they are phoning about a region rather than a street. Anything else, ask it on the call.
Is this one branch covering the whole region, or several?
One. The Bellville branch answers every call on this number and dispatches every van in the region, which is why it can tell you where the nearest one actually is instead of taking a message.
Which suburbs count as the Northern Suburbs for you?
Bellville, Parow, Goodwood, Durbanville, Brackenfell, Kraaifontein, Kuils River, Tygervalley, Stikland and everything between them, out to Plattekloof, Edgemead, Monte Vista and Bothasig.
Does it take longer to reach the far end of the region?
It can, and you will be told so. Kraaifontein and Goodwood are a long way apart. The time you are quoted comes off the position of the closest van at that moment, not off an average.
Do you do industrial work as well as houses?
Yes, and more of it here than in most regions. The Stikland and Epping belts sit inside this coverage area, so roller shutter locks, padlocks, commercial cylinders and escape hardware are routine rather than specialist.
Can one master key plan cover buildings in different suburbs?
Yes. A single restricted key system can run across several sites, which is common for a company with premises in more than one suburb. Tell the branch how many buildings and who needs access to which.
Do you charge more at night or over a weekend?
Whatever the callout costs, you hear the figure before the van leaves, at any hour. There is no surprise added afterwards for it being late or being a Sunday.
I am outside the region. Can you still help?
Phone anyway. AAA runs branches across the Peninsula and the reception here will hand you to the right one rather than sending a van across the city and billing you for the distance.
How do I verify the technician who arrives?
Ask the branch for his name at the time of booking and check it against the identification he carries and the marked vehicle. If it does not match, do not let him start — phone 021 914 7949.
