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 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
- Farms and smallholdings: a wide door across the veranda or the farm kitchen entrance
- 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
- Flats and apartments: a light retractable gate across a balcony door where a hinged gate cannot swing
- Schools, clinics and churches: a folding door for halls and clinic waiting rooms, with exit rules checked
- Factories and warehouses: a light barrier for canteens and offices, with steel gates on the yard
- Offices and practices: a stack-away gate for a wide boardroom or reception door
