Security doors, gates and bars in North West
North West covers fast growing Rustenburg and its platinum belt, the Hartbeespoort and Brits area, university and farming towns like Potchefstroom and Klerksdorp, and wide maize and cattle country. Many homes are face brick with steel or aluminium windows, with a large number of RDP and township houses where simple burglar bars and a single security door are the usual upgrade. Farm homesteads and worker housing need gates and bars on stores, sheds and workshops. Dry heat and dust are tough on locks and moving parts, and hollow block walls need the right anchors. Fabricators work mainly from Rustenburg, Brits, Klerksdorp and Potchefstroom, and travel to farms.
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
- Farms and smallholdings: bars on newer aluminium windows of homesteads, galvanised or aluminium for the weather
- 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
- Flats and apartments: slim bars on ground-floor and balcony windows without cluttering the facade
- Offices and practices: neat aluminium bars that match the building and keep the view
