Security doors, gates and bars in George
George is the Garden Route's regional centre, with face-brick houses in Heatherlands, Blanco and Denneoord, golf estate townhouses, flats, and large areas such as Thembalethu and Pacaltsdorp. The climate is mild and damp, with rain throughout the year, and the coast at Herold's Bay and Wilderness adds salt air, so galvanised steel is worth asking for. Timber-framed houses and old brick may need careful fixing, and aluminium windows on newer builds suit clear bars. Shops in the CBD and industrial users in Pacaltsdorp and Thembalethu buy folding gates and heavy steel doors. Fabricators work from George Industria and also serve Mossel Bay and Knysna.
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
- Townhouses and complexes: a gate in the approved colour over the patio or front door, fixed to the reveal
- Flats and apartments: a single gate over the front door that fits the passage without blocking neighbours
- 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
- Farms and smallholdings: heavy gates over the farmhouse doors and the stores, built from thick tube
Local tips for George

Security Gates are usually made in mild steel tube, 12 to 16 mm round bars, single gates up to 1,000 x 2,200 mm, with slam lock, deadlock or cylinder lock and powder coat over galvanised or primed steel. Locally: mild damp air all year, salt on the coast: galvanised steel is safest.
