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 front door security gates requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a front gate in a modern bar pattern that matches the window bars
- Townhouses and complexes: a gate in the approved colour with slim bars that suits the facade
- Flats and apartments: a neat gate on the entrance door that fits a shared passage
- Shops and restaurants: a gate over the street entrance that looks tidy when open
- Offices and practices: a refined gate on the practice entrance or reception door
- Schools, clinics and churches: a gate on the front office door, kept clear of escape routes
- Factories and warehouses: a plain steel gate on the site office entrance
- Farms and smallholdings: a strong plain gate over the farmhouse front door, galvanised for weather
