Security doors, gates and bars in Free State
The Free State has Bloemfontein as its main city, the goldfields towns around Welkom and Kroonstad, industrial Sasolburg, and the eastern towns of Bethlehem, Harrismith and Clarens. Older houses often have steel windows and sandstone or face-brick walls, while newer ones use aluminium frames. Security doors, trellis gates and burglar bars are common on houses and flats, and shops and offices in town centres tend to fit heavier gates. Farms need gates and bars for stores, sheds and workshops. Cold winters with frost and hot dry summers move steel and loosen fixings, so good anchoring matters. Fabricators are concentrated in Bloemfontein, Welkom and Sasolburg.
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
- Shops and restaurants: bars over a glazed back door or a rear delivery door
- Townhouses and complexes: bars on the rear patio door in the colour the body corporate allows
- 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
- Flats and apartments: a bar gate over a balcony door that still opens from inside
- Offices and practices: neat bars over a ground-floor door onto a parking area
