Security doors, gates and bars in East London
East London stretches along the coast from Gonubie to Nahoon and inland to Mdantsane, so salt air and humidity are part of every steel order. Face-brick houses in Beacon Bay, Vincent and Berea, flats near the beachfront, townhouse complexes and sprawling township homes all use trellis doors, slamlock gates and bars. Older houses often have steel windows that rust at the frame, and newer ones have aluminium frames that suit clear bars. Factories in the Fort Jackson and Wilsonia industrial areas, close to the port, order heavy gates and double steel doors. Fabricators and installers work from those areas and also serve Bhisho and Qonce.
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
- Flats and apartments: one strong gate at the front door and bars on windows that face a walkway or balcony
- Townhouses and complexes: a trellis or slamlock gate in the colour the body corporate allows, and clear bars on ground-floor windows
- Shops and restaurants: folding gates over the shopfront, a steel back door and bars on the storeroom window
- Factories and warehouses: double steel doors, slamlock gates on stores and heavy bars on offices and ablutions
- Schools, clinics and churches: bulk doors, gates and bars for classrooms, clinics and halls, often to a tender specification
- Offices and practices: a neat gate at reception, a steel door for the server or cash room and clear bars on street windows
