Security doors, gates and bars in Mthatha
Mthatha is the commercial centre of the Transkei, with busy shops in the town centre, houses in Southernwood, Fort Gale and Norwood, and large rural and township areas around Ngangelizwe and Mqanduli. Many shops order folding gates and steel back doors, while homes use trellis doors, steel windows with bars and slamlock gates. Heavy summer rain and humidity can rust unprotected steel, and rural homes far from tarred roads rely on standard-size doors that are easier to transport. Schools, clinics and municipal buildings buy in bulk and often need escape-route compliant gates. Fabricators work from Mthatha's industrial area and deliver across the district.
Typical door burglar bars requests in the area come from:
- Shops and restaurants: bars over a glazed back door or a rear delivery door
- Houses: bars over the kitchen and patio doors, matched to the window bars
- Schools, clinics and churches: bars on classroom and clinic doors, specified in the tender
- Farms and smallholdings: heavy bars over back doors and the doors of outbuildings
- 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
- Townhouses and complexes: bars on the rear patio door in the colour the body corporate allows
