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 front door security gates requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a front gate in a modern bar pattern that matches the window bars
- Farms and smallholdings: a strong plain gate over the farmhouse front door, galvanised for weather
- 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
- Flats and apartments: a neat gate on the entrance door that fits a shared passage
- 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
- Offices and practices: a refined gate on the practice entrance or reception door
