Security doors, gates and bars in Kimberley
Kimberley is an old Karoo city with Victorian and Edwardian buildings, face-brick houses in Hadison Park and Beaconsfield, flats, shops, and large township areas such as Galeshewe and Roodepan. Older buildings often have steel windows, sash windows and thick walls, and heritage rules may apply in parts of the centre, so check before changing a facade. Houses commonly fit trellis doors, slamlock gates and window bars, and shops fit heavier gates and roller-type bars. Summers are very hot and dry, with dust in hinges and tracks. Fabricators and installers work from the city and its industrial areas.
Typical burglar bars requests in the area come from:
- Houses: steel bars on every window, with a quick-release panel in each bedroom
- Shops and restaurants: bars over rear windows, storerooms and vents, with a clear view where needed
- Flats and apartments: bars on ground-floor and balcony windows, with a way out kept in each bedroom
- Townhouses and complexes: bars in a body corporate approved style, often slim and matching the frames
- Offices and practices: neat bars or clear bars on ground-floor windows without darkening the room
- Schools, clinics and churches: bars on clinic and classroom windows that meet fire and escape rules
- Factories and warehouses: heavy mesh and bars on offices, vents and stores in factories and yards
- Farms and smallholdings: heavy bars on remote houses, stores and pump rooms, galvanised against weather
