Security doors, gates and bars in Newcastle
Newcastle serves northern KwaZulu-Natal with a mix of face-brick homes in Fernwood, Lennoxton and Pioneer Park, townhouses, and large township areas such as Madadeni and Osizweni. Many older houses still have steel windows with simple trellis doors, and newer builds use aluminium frames. Summers are hot with heavy thunderstorms, while winter frosts and dry air are tougher on paint than rust, though a zinc primer is still worth having. Shops in the town centre order folding gates and steel back doors, and factories in the industrial area need heavy slamlock gates. Fabricators work from the Newcastle industrial area and also serve Dannhauser and Utrecht.
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
- 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
- Townhouses and complexes: a retractable door on the patio slider, in the colour the complex allows
- Schools, clinics and churches: a folding door for halls and clinic waiting rooms, with exit rules checked
- Farms and smallholdings: a wide door across the veranda or the farm kitchen entrance
- Flats and apartments: a light retractable gate across a balcony door where a hinged gate cannot swing
Local tips for Newcastle
Common here: trellis doors and bars for houses, folding gates and steel doors for shops. Ask each installer to allow for this: ask for the bars to be fixed through the brick and not only into plaster. Work usually comes from here: fabricators in the Newcastle industrial area and Madadeni.
Retractable Security Doors are usually made in steel or aluminium channels with scissor arms, up to 3,600 x 2,400 mm per door, with key lock on the leading channel into a post and powder coat or anodised aluminium. Locally: hot storms and cold dry winters: paint needs a proper zinc primer.
What to include in your request
- Full width and height of the opening in mm
- Free wall space beside the opening for the stack
- Steel or aluminium, and the colour you want
- Mounting: inside the reveal, on the face or on the ceiling
- Lock type and whether it must open without a key
