Everyday Lock Work Around the House
Buddy Locksmith looks after the locks on ordinary homes throughout Cosmo City and Roodepoort — front doors, back doors, garages, security gates and the side entrance nobody thinks about until it sticks. Phone us for a lockout, a key snapped off in the cylinder or a lock that has simply worn out, and you get someone who explains the fix and what it costs before any work starts.
What We Sort Out at Home
- Residential and commercial lockouts
- Rekey existing locks
- Installation of new locks
- Window locks
- Patio bolts
- Deadlocks and locksets
- Digital locks
- High-security locks
- Key cutting and duplication
Choosing and Fitting the Right Lock
Hand us the key you already carry and we can cut new cylinders to match it, so one key still opens everything on the property. Where that is not sensible — mixed hardware on different doors, a barrel that is already sloppy, a door that has dropped on its hinges — we will say so and price a replacement lockset instead. What we fit runs from everyday door locks to heavier patterns for gates, and we will talk you through what each one actually buys you.
Need a hand with a lock at home? We're a phone call away, weekends and holidays included.

You can never really know how many keys are already floating around for a new address — previous owners, agents, contractors. A rekey sorts that out fast, and it's one of the easiest, friendliest jobs we do — no need to replace the whole lock.
Worth Upgrading? Here Is How We Decide
Plenty of houses are still running whatever the builder screwed on, and a thin barrel in a hollow door is the weak point long before the burglar bars are. We look at what the door itself can carry, check that the frame and strike plate are still sound, then suggest a stronger cylinder, a deadlock or a keypad unit where it earns its keep. There is no sense in a heavy lock on a door that gives way around it.
Homes across Cosmo City and Roodepoort are our everyday work, and the phone is answered on weekends and public holidays as well. Ring 071 042 7049 whenever a lock lets you down and we will tell you there and then when we can be at your gate.
