Security doors, gates and bars in Newcastle
Newcastle serves northern KwaZulu-Natal with a mix of face-brick homes in Fernwood, Lennoxton and Pioneer Park, townhouses, and large township areas such as Madadeni and Osizweni. Many older houses still have steel windows with simple trellis doors, and newer builds use aluminium frames. Summers are hot with heavy thunderstorms, while winter frosts and dry air are tougher on paint than rust, though a zinc primer is still worth having. Shops in the town centre order folding gates and steel back doors, and factories in the industrial area need heavy slamlock gates. Fabricators work from the Newcastle industrial area and also serve Dannhauser and Utrecht.

Typical aluminium window burglar bars requests in the area come from:
- Houses: bars on aluminium windows anchored to the wall, with escape panels in bedrooms
- Shops and restaurants: bars behind or outside shop windows and on aluminium back office windows
- Factories and warehouses: bars on aluminium office and canteen windows within plants and warehouses
- Townhouses and complexes: bars in a frame-matching colour that the body corporate approves in advance
- Schools, clinics and churches: bars on classroom and clinic windows, with release panels for escape
- Farms and smallholdings: bars on newer aluminium windows of homesteads, galvanised or aluminium for the weather
- Flats and apartments: slim bars on ground-floor and balcony windows without cluttering the facade
Local tips for Newcastle
In Newcastle, what people fit most is this: trellis doors and bars for houses, folding gates and steel doors for shops. Makers and installers: fabricators in the Newcastle industrial area and Madadeni. A useful tip: ask for the bars to be fixed through the brick and not only into plaster.
