Security doors, gates and bars in Eastern Cape
The Eastern Cape runs from Gqeberha and East London on the coast through Makhanda, Graaff-Reinet and the Karoo to Mthatha and the former Transkei. Older houses in Gqeberha and Makhanda often have steel sash windows and thick walls, and newer homes use aluminium frames. Coastal towns such as Jeffreys Bay and Port Alfred face salt air that rusts untreated steel, while inland farms and small towns need robust gates on stores and workshops. Many rural and township homes rely on a steel door and simple bars. Fabricators work mainly from Gqeberha, East London and Mthatha, and travel to smaller towns for larger jobs.
Typical door burglar bars requests in the area come from:
- Houses: bars over the kitchen and patio doors, matched to the window bars
- Farms and smallholdings: heavy bars over back doors and the doors of outbuildings
- 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
- Flats and apartments: a bar gate over a balcony door that still opens from inside
- 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
- Offices and practices: neat bars over a ground-floor door onto a parking area
Local tips for Eastern Cape
Most work in Eastern Cape comes from here: fabricators in Gqeberha, East London and Mthatha. Commonly fitted: galvanised gates and bars on the coast, steel doors and bars on rural and township homes. When you ask for quotes, ask whether old steel windows can take new bars or need repair first.
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: salt air and wind on the coast: ask for galvanised steel with a sealed paint finish.
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
