Security doors, gates and bars in Welkom
Welkom is a planned gold-mining town built around roundabouts, with face-brick houses, townhouse complexes, flats and mine housing, plus Thabong township and nearby Odendaalsrus and Virginia. Mining has declined, so some older properties are being refitted or secured after standing empty. Houses commonly have trellis doors, slamlock gates and bars on steel windows, and shops and offices fit heavier gates and roller-type bars. Industrial sites and workshops order steel doors and frames. The climate is dry with hot summers and cold winters, so dust and rust in older fittings are common repair jobs. Fabricators and installers work from Welkom and its industrial areas.
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
- Shops and restaurants: a lock on the shopfront gate and a stronger bolt on the back door
- 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
- 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
- Schools, clinics and churches: a master key plan for rooms and classrooms, with fire exits that open from inside
