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 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
- Factories and warehouses: heavy mesh and bars on offices, vents and stores in factories and yards
- Townhouses and complexes: bars in a body corporate approved style, often slim and matching the frames
- Schools, clinics and churches: bars on clinic and classroom windows that meet fire and escape rules
- Farms and smallholdings: heavy bars on remote houses, stores and pump rooms, galvanised against weather
- Flats and apartments: bars on ground-floor and balcony windows, with a way out kept in each bedroom
Local tips for Newcastle
Most work in Newcastle comes from here: fabricators in the Newcastle industrial area and Madadeni. Commonly fitted: trellis doors and bars for houses, folding gates and steel doors for shops. When you ask for quotes, ask for the bars to be fixed through the brick and not only into plaster.
Burglar Bars are usually made in mild steel, 12 mm bars in a 20 x 20 mm frame, windows from 600 x 600 to 1,800 x 1,500 mm, with fixed, or hinged with an inside latch or key and powder coat, galvanised in coastal areas. Locally: hot storms and cold dry winters: paint needs a proper zinc primer.
