Security doors, gates and bars in Mthatha
Mthatha is the commercial centre of the Transkei, with busy shops in the town centre, houses in Southernwood, Fort Gale and Norwood, and large rural and township areas around Ngangelizwe and Mqanduli. Many shops order folding gates and steel back doors, while homes use trellis doors, steel windows with bars and slamlock gates. Heavy summer rain and humidity can rust unprotected steel, and rural homes far from tarred roads rely on standard-size doors that are easier to transport. Schools, clinics and municipal buildings buy in bulk and often need escape-route compliant gates. Fabricators work from Mthatha's industrial area and deliver across the district.

Typical security gates for sale requests in the area come from:
- Shops and restaurants: folding or sliding shopfront gates, bought new with a guarantee
- Houses: a ready-made gate for the back door and a made-to-measure one for the patio
- Schools, clinics and churches: bulk gates ordered from a fabricator against a specification
- Farms and smallholdings: heavy second-hand gates adapted by a local welder for stores and sheds
- Factories and warehouses: heavy double gates and doors for yards and stores, ordered new
- Offices and practices: a neat gate for reception or a stockroom, made to measure
- Townhouses and complexes: a sliding gate in the complex colour, usually made to measure for a stacker
