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