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 clear burglar bars requests in the area come from:
- Houses: clear bars on view windows and patio panels, steel bars kept at the back
- Shops and restaurants: clear bars behind or outside show windows so customers still see the display
- Factories and warehouses: clear bars on front offices and canteens, steel kept for the stores
- Townhouses and complexes: clear bars that keep the view and pass complex colour and style rules
- Schools, clinics and churches: clear bars on school and clinic windows, with release panels for escape
- Farms and smallholdings: clear bars on the homestead windows facing the garden or veld
- Flats and apartments: see-through bars on balcony and high-rise windows without blocking the outlook
Local tips for Newcastle
In Newcastle, what people fit most is this: trellis doors and bars for houses, folding gates and steel doors for shops. Makers and installers: fabricators in the Newcastle industrial area and Madadeni. A useful tip: ask for the bars to be fixed through the brick and not only into plaster.
Clear Burglar Bars are usually made in polycarbonate rods in a metal frame, windows up to about 1,800 x 1,500 mm, with fixed, or hinged with an inside latch or key and clear rods, frame in silver, white or black. Locally: hot storms and cold dry winters: paint needs a proper zinc primer.
What to include in your request
- Width and height of each window in mm
- Why you want clear bars: view, coast or looks
- Rod thickness and whether it has a steel core
- Frame colour and inside or outside fixing
- Which bedroom windows need a quick-release panel
