Security doors, gates and bars in Kariega
Kariega, once Uitenhage, is a motor industry town where factories and suppliers sit beside residential areas such as Despatch, Rosedale and Langa. Houses are mostly face-brick with steel windows in the older parts and aluminium frames in newer ones, and township areas such as KwaNobuhle have many small houses that use standard trellis doors and window bars. The town is inland from the sea, but wind and dry heat still wear on paint, so a good primer helps. Industrial users order heavy slamlock gates, double steel doors and strong rooms, and fabricators in the industrial area also serve Gqeberha and the Kruisrivier valley.
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
- Factories and warehouses: double steel doors, slamlock gates on stores and heavy bars on offices and ablutions
- Shops and restaurants: folding gates over the shopfront, a steel back door and bars on the storeroom window
- Townhouses and complexes: a trellis or slamlock gate in the colour the body corporate allows, and clear bars on ground-floor windows
- Schools, clinics and churches: bulk doors, gates and bars for classrooms, clinics and halls, often to a tender specification
- Farms and smallholdings: heavy steel doors on the house and store rooms, and strong bars on windows far from the neighbours
- Flats and apartments: one strong gate at the front door and bars on windows that face a walkway or balcony
