Residential Locksmiths

Getting You Back Through Your Own Front Door

A house lockout never picks a convenient hour, so No Limits Locksmith keeps technicians on call right through the night and charges the same rate at 2 AM as at 2 PM. A door that swung shut behind you, a gate lock that has seized, keys the last tenant never returned, a security upgrade you keep postponing — it all goes onto the same list, and none of it gets pushed to next week.

Supplying the Hardware, Not Just Fitting It

You don't need to go hunting for locks before we arrive — we bring them with us. Hardware can be cut to your existing key so one key still opens everything, or supplied fresh with its own set where you'd rather start clean. Which lock belongs on which door usually comes down to how exposed it is, how often it gets used and who else needs to pass through it, and we'll say plainly when a mid-range cylinder is enough rather than pushing you to the top of the range.

New House, Old Keys: Get Rekeyed First

Every previous owner, agent, contractor and dog-walker who ever had a key to your new place is a copy you don't control. Rekeying swaps the internals so only your keys work — same locks, same hardware, a fraction of the cost of ripping it all out. It's the first thing we'd do before unpacking a single box.

Where an Ordinary Lockset Gives Way

The lockset that came with a door is built to hold it closed, not to stand up to a pry bar or a pick. When we walk a property we look at how the strike plate is fixed, whether the frame can carry the load a deadlock puts on it, how far the bolt actually throws, and whether glass beside the door turns a thumbturn into a liability. The answer might be a deadlock, a harder cylinder, a patio bolt or a keypad on the back door — we would rather close the weakest gap than sell you the dearest product.

Wherever you sit around Johannesburg, Gauteng, the call-out works the same way: give us the address and tell us what the lock is doing, and someone leaves for you. There is no answering service holding your details until morning and no queue that a night call has to wait behind.
