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 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
- 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
- Townhouses and complexes: slim modern frames in the colour the complex allows
- Schools, clinics and churches: durable plain designs specified for schools and clinics
- Farms and smallholdings: strong plain or cottage pane bars suited to farmhouse windows
- Flats and apartments: simple, light designs that do not block the view or fire escape
Local tips for Newcastle
Common here: trellis doors and bars for houses, folding gates and steel doors for shops. Ask each installer to allow for this: ask for the bars to be fixed through the brick and not only into plaster. Work usually comes from here: fabricators in the Newcastle industrial area and Madadeni.
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. Locally: hot storms and cold dry winters: paint needs a proper zinc primer.
