Security doors, gates and bars in North West
North West covers fast growing Rustenburg and its platinum belt, the Hartbeespoort and Brits area, university and farming towns like Potchefstroom and Klerksdorp, and wide maize and cattle country. Many homes are face brick with steel or aluminium windows, with a large number of RDP and township houses where simple burglar bars and a single security door are the usual upgrade. Farm homesteads and worker housing need gates and bars on stores, sheds and workshops. Dry heat and dust are tough on locks and moving parts, and hollow block walls need the right anchors. Fabricators work mainly from Rustenburg, Brits, Klerksdorp and Potchefstroom, and travel to farms.
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
- 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
- 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
- Flats and apartments: one strong gate at the front door and bars on windows that face a walkway or balcony
- 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 North West
Most work in North West comes from here: fabricators in Rustenburg, Brits, Klerksdorp and Potchefstroom. Commonly fitted: steel doors and window bars on homes, gates and bars on farm stores and sheds. When you ask for quotes, ask what anchors they use if your walls are hollow block.
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: dust and dry heat wear locks and tracks, and hollow blocks need proper anchors.

- Style: hinged steel, trellis, slamlock or sliding
- Inside the reveal or fixed to the face of the wall
