Security doors, gates and bars in Northern Cape
The Northern Cape is the largest and most thinly populated province, with Kimberley as its main city, Upington on the Orange River, mining towns like Kathu and Kuruman, and small Karoo and Namaqualand towns. Houses are often single-storey face brick or plaster, with older steel windows and some thick-walled Karoo and heritage buildings where fixing needs care. Farms, guesthouses and shops use gates and bars on stores and outbuildings, and many businesses want heavy gates on shopfronts. Dry heat, wind and dust are hard on finishes and moving parts. Fabricators work mainly from Kimberley and Upington, so distance can affect lead times and travel costs.
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
- 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
- Offices and practices: tidy modern frames that match the building
- 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
