Security doors, gates and bars in North West
North West covers fast growing Rustenburg and its platinum belt, the Hartbeespoort and Brits area, university and farming towns like Potchefstroom and Klerksdorp, and wide maize and cattle country. Many homes are face brick with steel or aluminium windows, with a large number of RDP and township houses where simple burglar bars and a single security door are the usual upgrade. Farm homesteads and worker housing need gates and bars on stores, sheds and workshops. Dry heat and dust are tough on locks and moving parts, and hollow block walls need the right anchors. Fabricators work mainly from Rustenburg, Brits, Klerksdorp and Potchefstroom, and travel to farms.
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
- 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
- Townhouses and complexes: keyed alike cylinders for front and patio gates, kept within the complex rules
- Schools, clinics and churches: a master key plan for rooms and classrooms, with fire exits that open from inside
- Flats and apartments: a neat lock box on the entrance gate with a thumb-turn inside for quick exit
- Offices and practices: master key systems so staff open only the doors they need
Local tips for North West
Common here: steel doors and window bars on homes, gates and bars on farm stores and sheds. Ask each installer to allow for this: ask what anchors they use if your walls are hollow block. Work usually comes from here: fabricators in Rustenburg, Brits, Klerksdorp and Potchefstroom.
Security Door Locks are usually made in steel lock box, brass or nickel cylinder, fits stiles from 25 to 50 mm wide, with slamlock, cylinder, 3-lever or multi-point and plated, powder coated or stainless steel. Locally: dust and dry heat wear locks and tracks, and hollow blocks need proper anchors.
