Security doors, gates and bars in Free State
The Free State has Bloemfontein as its main city, the goldfields towns around Welkom and Kroonstad, industrial Sasolburg, and the eastern towns of Bethlehem, Harrismith and Clarens. Older houses often have steel windows and sandstone or face-brick walls, while newer ones use aluminium frames. Security doors, trellis gates and burglar bars are common on houses and flats, and shops and offices in town centres tend to fit heavier gates. Farms need gates and bars for stores, sheds and workshops. Cold winters with frost and hot dry summers move steel and loosen fixings, so good anchoring matters. Fabricators are concentrated in Bloemfontein, Welkom and Sasolburg.

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
- Farms and smallholdings: strong plain or cottage pane bars suited to farmhouse windows
- Shops and restaurants: slim frames or clear bars that keep the display visible
- Townhouses and complexes: slim modern frames in the colour the complex allows
- 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
- Flats and apartments: simple, light designs that do not block the view or fire escape
