Security doors, gates and bars in Bloemfontein
Bloemfontein is a large Free State city with older face-brick houses in Brandwag and Waverley, newer townhouse complexes in Langenhoven Park and Bainsvlei, student flats near the university, and big township areas such as Mangaung and Botshabelo. Older houses often have steel windows with welded bars, while newer builds use aluminium. Trellis doors, slamlock gates, sliding door gates and clear bars are all common. Government offices, schools and shops order steel doors and heavier gates. Winters are cold and dry and summers hot with storms. Fabricators and installers work from several industrial areas in the city, with a good choice of suppliers for most jobs.
Typical burglar bar designs requests in the area come from:
- Houses: scroll or cottage pane bars on the street-facing windows, plain bars at the back
- Townhouses and complexes: slim modern frames in the colour the complex allows
- Flats and apartments: simple, light designs that do not block the view or fire escape
- Shops and restaurants: slim frames or clear bars that keep the display visible
- Offices and practices: tidy modern frames that match the building
- Schools, clinics and churches: durable plain designs specified for schools and clinics
- Factories and warehouses: plain heavy bars for offices and workshops in a yard
- Farms and smallholdings: strong plain or cottage pane bars suited to farmhouse windows

Common here: trellis doors, slamlock gates and clear bars on houses and townhouses.

Burglar Bar Designs are usually made in mild steel tube frame, 10 to 16 mm bars, windows 600 to 1,800 mm x 600 to 1,500 mm, with fixed, with one hinged section for escape and powder coat, galvanised underneath on the coast.
