Security doors, gates and bars in East London
East London stretches along the coast from Gonubie to Nahoon and inland to Mdantsane, so salt air and humidity are part of every steel order. Face-brick houses in Beacon Bay, Vincent and Berea, flats near the beachfront, townhouse complexes and sprawling township homes all use trellis doors, slamlock gates and bars. Older houses often have steel windows that rust at the frame, and newer ones have aluminium frames that suit clear bars. Factories in the Fort Jackson and Wilsonia industrial areas, close to the port, order heavy gates and double steel doors. Fabricators and installers work from those areas and also serve Bhisho and Qonce.

Typical door burglar bars requests in the area come from:
- Houses: bars over the kitchen and patio doors, matched to the window bars
- Flats and apartments: a bar gate over a balcony door that still opens from inside
- Townhouses and complexes: bars on the rear patio door in the colour the body corporate allows
- Shops and restaurants: bars over a glazed back door or a rear delivery door
- Factories and warehouses: bars over the glass doors of offices inside a yard
- Schools, clinics and churches: bars on classroom and clinic doors, specified in the tender
- Offices and practices: neat bars over a ground-floor door onto a parking area
