Security doors, gates and bars in East London
East London stretches along the coast from Gonubie to Nahoon and inland to Mdantsane, so salt air and humidity are part of every steel order. Face-brick houses in Beacon Bay, Vincent and Berea, flats near the beachfront, townhouse complexes and sprawling township homes all use trellis doors, slamlock gates and bars. Older houses often have steel windows that rust at the frame, and newer ones have aluminium frames that suit clear bars. Factories in the Fort Jackson and Wilsonia industrial areas, close to the port, order heavy gates and double steel doors. Fabricators and installers work from those areas and also serve Bhisho and Qonce.
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
- Flats and apartments: simple, light designs that do not block the view or fire escape
- Townhouses and complexes: slim modern frames in the colour the complex allows
- Shops and restaurants: slim frames or clear bars that keep the display visible
- Factories and warehouses: plain heavy bars for offices and workshops in a yard
- Schools, clinics and churches: durable plain designs specified for schools and clinics
- Offices and practices: tidy modern frames that match the building
