Security doors, gates and bars in Upington
Upington is a hot desert town on the Orange River, with face-brick and plastered houses, flats, shops and lodges, and township areas such as Paballelo and Louisvale. Along the river, vineyards and date and raisin farms order steel doors, gates and framed bars for packsheds and stores. Houses usually fit trellis doors, slamlock gates and window bars. Summers are extremely hot, which can warm steel and dry out paint, and fine dust works into hinges and sliding tracks. Powder coat and sealed bearings help. Fabricators and installers work from Upington, and many travel along the river to Keimoes and Kakamas.
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
- 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
- Offices and practices: a neat gate at reception, a steel door for the server or cash room and clear bars on street windows
- 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
