Security doors, gates and bars in Ladysmith
Ladysmith is a Klip River service town with older face-brick houses on wide streets, steel-framed windows in the town centre and large township areas such as Ezakheni and Steadville. Summers are hot and often stormy, so wind-driven rain gets into poorly sealed fixings and can rust the bar ends. Shops along Murchison Street and the main roads order folding shopfront gates and steel back doors, and farms on the Klip River flats ask for heavy bars and steel store doors. Fabricators in the industrial area build trellis doors, slamlock gates and security gates, and travel to Colenso, Elandslaagte and the Drakensberg foothills for larger orders.
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
- Farms and smallholdings: heavy bars on remote houses, stores and pump rooms, galvanised against weather
- Factories and warehouses: heavy mesh and bars on offices, vents and stores in factories and yards
- Schools, clinics and churches: bars on clinic and classroom windows that meet fire and escape rules
- Townhouses and complexes: bars in a body corporate approved style, often slim and matching the frames
- Flats and apartments: bars on ground-floor and balcony windows, with a way out kept in each bedroom
