Security doors, gates and bars in Upington
Upington is a hot desert town on the Orange River, with face-brick and plastered houses, flats, shops and lodges, and township areas such as Paballelo and Louisvale. Along the river, vineyards and date and raisin farms order steel doors, gates and framed bars for packsheds and stores. Houses usually fit trellis doors, slamlock gates and window bars. Summers are extremely hot, which can warm steel and dry out paint, and fine dust works into hinges and sliding tracks. Powder coat and sealed bearings help. Fabricators and installers work from Upington, and many travel along the river to Keimoes and Kakamas.
Typical burglar bars requests in the area come from:
- Houses: steel bars on every window, with a quick-release panel in each bedroom
- Farms and smallholdings: heavy bars on remote houses, stores and pump rooms, galvanised against weather
- 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
- 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
