Security doors, gates and bars in Brits
Brits lies between the Magaliesberg and Hartbeespoort, with older face-brick houses, townhouse complexes and smallholdings, plus the townships of Letlhabile, Oukasie and Mothutlung. Hartbeespoort and Schoemansville bring lifestyle estates and holiday homes that often have rules on gate style and colour. Older houses commonly have steel windows with welded bars, while newer homes use aluminium and clear bars. Trellis doors and slamlock gates are the usual choices, and industrial units and farm sheds order steel doors and framed gates. Summers are hot with strong storms, so painted steel needs upkeep. Fabricators and installers work from Brits and the Hartbeespoort area.
Typical security door locks requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a cylinder lock box on the front gate and the same key on the kitchen and patio gates
- Townhouses and complexes: keyed alike cylinders for front and patio gates, kept within the complex rules
- Farms and smallholdings: heavy lock boxes on workshop and store room doors, with a master key for the farm manager
- Shops and restaurants: a lock on the shopfront gate and a stronger bolt on the back door
- Factories and warehouses: heavy lock cases on yard gates and store rooms, with a restricted key system
- Flats and apartments: a neat lock box on the entrance gate with a thumb-turn inside for quick exit
- Schools, clinics and churches: a master key plan for rooms and classrooms, with fire exits that open from inside
