Security doors, gates and bars in Potchefstroom
Potchefstroom is a university and farming town with older face-brick houses and cottages in the centre, student flats and rooms around the campus, and newer townhouse complexes in Baillie Park and Van der Hoff Park. Landlords and student housing groups often order bars and trellis doors in bulk, and many rooms need a window that still opens from inside. Older houses have steel windows suited to welded bars, while newer ones use aluminium. Ikageng township homes fit window bars and steel doors. Summers are hot with storms. Fabricators and installers work from the town, and farm sheds and workshops order steel doors and framed gates.
Typical security doors requests in the area come from:
- Flats and apartments: one strong gate at the front door and bars on windows that face a walkway or balcony
- 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
