Security doors, gates and bars in Eastern Cape
The Eastern Cape runs from Gqeberha and East London on the coast through Makhanda, Graaff-Reinet and the Karoo to Mthatha and the former Transkei. Older houses in Gqeberha and Makhanda often have steel sash windows and thick walls, and newer homes use aluminium frames. Coastal towns such as Jeffreys Bay and Port Alfred face salt air that rusts untreated steel, while inland farms and small towns need robust gates on stores and workshops. Many rural and township homes rely on a steel door and simple bars. Fabricators work mainly from Gqeberha, East London and Mthatha, and travel to smaller towns for larger 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
- Farms and smallholdings: heavy steel doors on the house and store rooms, and strong bars on windows far from the neighbours
- 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
- Flats and apartments: one strong gate at the front door and bars on windows that face a walkway or balcony
- 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
- Offices and practices: a neat gate at reception, a steel door for the server or cash room and clear bars on street windows
Local tips for Eastern Cape
Most work in Eastern Cape comes from here: fabricators in Gqeberha, East London and Mthatha. Commonly fitted: galvanised gates and bars on the coast, steel doors and bars on rural and township homes. When you ask for quotes, ask whether old steel windows can take new bars or need repair first.
Security Doors are usually made in mild steel tube, 16 mm bars, steel kick panel, most doors 813 to 1,000 mm x 2,100 mm, with lock box with a 3-lever or cylinder lock and powder coat, galvanised underneath on the coast. Locally: salt air and wind on the coast: ask for galvanised steel with a sealed paint finish.
