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 retractable security doors requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a stack-away gate across a patio or sliding door that opens fully in the day
- Flats and apartments: a light retractable gate across a balcony door where a hinged gate cannot swing
- Townhouses and complexes: a retractable door on the patio slider, in the colour the complex allows
- Shops and restaurants: a pull-across gate over a back or side opening
- Factories and warehouses: a light barrier for canteens and offices, with steel gates on the yard
- Schools, clinics and churches: a folding door for halls and clinic waiting rooms, with exit rules checked
- Offices and practices: a stack-away gate for a wide boardroom or reception door
Local tips for East London
