Security doors, gates and bars in George
George is the Garden Route's regional centre, with face-brick houses in Heatherlands, Blanco and Denneoord, golf estate townhouses, flats, and large areas such as Thembalethu and Pacaltsdorp. The climate is mild and damp, with rain throughout the year, and the coast at Herold's Bay and Wilderness adds salt air, so galvanised steel is worth asking for. Timber-framed houses and old brick may need careful fixing, and aluminium windows on newer builds suit clear bars. Shops in the CBD and industrial users in Pacaltsdorp and Thembalethu buy folding gates and heavy steel doors. Fabricators work from George Industria and also serve Mossel Bay and Knysna.
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
- Flats and apartments: a neat lock box on the entrance gate with a thumb-turn inside for quick exit
- 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
- Schools, clinics and churches: a master key plan for rooms and classrooms, with fire exits that open from inside
- Farms and smallholdings: heavy lock boxes on workshop and store room doors, with a master key for the farm manager
