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 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
- Farms and smallholdings: heavy lock boxes on workshop and store room doors, with a master key for the farm manager
- Townhouses and complexes: keyed alike cylinders for front and patio gates, kept within the complex rules
- Shops and restaurants: a lock on the shopfront gate and a stronger bolt on the back door
- 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
- Factories and warehouses: heavy lock cases on yard gates and store rooms, with a restricted key system
- Offices and practices: master key systems so staff open only the doors they need
