Security doors, gates and bars in East London
East London stretches along the coast from Gonubie to Nahoon and inland to Mdantsane, so salt air and humidity are part of every steel order. Face-brick houses in Beacon Bay, Vincent and Berea, flats near the beachfront, townhouse complexes and sprawling township homes all use trellis doors, slamlock gates and bars. Older houses often have steel windows that rust at the frame, and newer ones have aluminium frames that suit clear bars. Factories in the Fort Jackson and Wilsonia industrial areas, close to the port, order heavy gates and double steel doors. Fabricators and installers work from those areas and also serve Bhisho and Qonce.
Typical security gates requests in the area come from:
- Houses: hinged bar gates on the front, kitchen and patio doors, with a lock you can open from inside
- Flats and apartments: a single gate over the front door that fits the passage without blocking neighbours
- Townhouses and complexes: a gate in the approved colour over the patio or front door, fixed to the reveal
- Shops and restaurants: a lockable gate over the shopfront and a folding unit for the delivery door
- Factories and warehouses: wide, heavy gates on loading doors, stores and tool cribs
- Schools, clinics and churches: bulk gates for classrooms and clinics that must keep escape routes clear
- Offices and practices: a tidy entrance gate for after hours and a stronger gate on a stock room
