Security doors, gates and bars in Stellenbosch
Stellenbosch is a university and wine town where historic Cape Dutch houses sit beside student flats, townhouse estates, wine farms and the township of Kayamandi. Heritage areas around Dorp Street restrict what can be fitted to the front, so clear bars and simple dark trellis doors are usual. Student blocks near the university buy bars and security gates in bulk, and estates often have strict colour and design rules. Thick old walls need masonry drills and long fixings. Hot dry summers and wet winters are fairly gentle on galvanised steel. Fabricators work from Stellenbosch Industria and Somerset West and also serve Jamestown and Franschhoek.
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
- Farms and smallholdings: a wide door across the veranda or the farm kitchen entrance
- Shops and restaurants: a pull-across gate over a back or side opening
- 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
