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.
