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 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
- 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
- Flats and apartments: simple, light designs that do not block the view or fire escape
- Offices and practices: tidy modern frames that match the building
