Security doors, gates and bars in Bloemfontein
Bloemfontein is a large Free State city with older face-brick houses in Brandwag and Waverley, newer townhouse complexes in Langenhoven Park and Bainsvlei, student flats near the university, and big township areas such as Mangaung and Botshabelo. Older houses often have steel windows with welded bars, while newer builds use aluminium. Trellis doors, slamlock gates, sliding door gates and clear bars are all common. Government offices, schools and shops order steel doors and heavier gates. Winters are cold and dry and summers hot with storms. Fabricators and installers work from several industrial areas in the city, with a good choice of suppliers for most jobs.
Typical door burglar bars requests in the area come from:
- Houses: bars over the kitchen and patio doors, matched to the window bars
- Townhouses and complexes: bars on the rear patio door in the colour the body corporate allows
- Flats and apartments: a bar gate over a balcony door that still opens from inside
- Shops and restaurants: bars over a glazed back door or a rear delivery door
- Offices and practices: neat bars over a ground-floor door onto a parking area
- Schools, clinics and churches: bars on classroom and clinic doors, specified in the tender
- Factories and warehouses: bars over the glass doors of offices inside a yard
- Farms and smallholdings: heavy bars over back doors and the doors of outbuildings
Local tips for Bloemfontein
Common here: trellis doors, slamlock gates and clear bars on houses and townhouses. Ask each installer to allow for this: get two or three quotes and compare steel thickness and lock type, not only the price. Work usually comes from here: fabricators and installers across Bloemfontein's industrial areas.
Door Burglar Bars are usually made in mild steel, 12 to 16 mm round or square bar, most doors 813 to 1,000 mm x 2,032 to 2,100 mm, with fixed, or hinged with a lock box and cylinder and powder coat, galvanised underneath on the coast. Locally: big temperature swings and summer storms: seal welds and keep the paint intact.
What to include in your request
- Width and height of each door opening in mm
- Fixed bars or a hinged section with a lock
- Which way the door opens and where the handle sits
- Inside or outside the glass
