Security doors, gates and bars in Bloemfontein
Bloemfontein is a large Free State city with older face-brick houses in Brandwag and Waverley, newer townhouse complexes in Langenhoven Park and Bainsvlei, student flats near the university, and big township areas such as Mangaung and Botshabelo. Older houses often have steel windows with welded bars, while newer builds use aluminium. Trellis doors, slamlock gates, sliding door gates and clear bars are all common. Government offices, schools and shops order steel doors and heavier gates. Winters are cold and dry and summers hot with storms. Fabricators and installers work from several industrial areas in the city, with a good choice of suppliers for most jobs.
Typical security doors requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a security door at the front and kitchen doors, burglar bars on the windows and a gate on the patio slider
- Townhouses and complexes: a trellis or slamlock gate in the colour the body corporate allows, and clear bars on ground-floor windows
- Flats and apartments: one strong gate at the front door and bars on windows that face a walkway or balcony
- Shops and restaurants: folding gates over the shopfront, a steel back door and bars on the storeroom window
- Offices and practices: a neat gate at reception, a steel door for the server or cash room and clear bars on street windows
- Schools, clinics and churches: bulk doors, gates and bars for classrooms, clinics and halls, often to a tender specification
- Factories and warehouses: double steel doors, slamlock gates on stores and heavy bars on offices and ablutions
- Farms and smallholdings: heavy steel doors on the house and store rooms, and strong bars on windows far from the neighbours
