Security doors, gates and bars in Kimberley
Kimberley is an old Karoo city with Victorian and Edwardian buildings, face-brick houses in Hadison Park and Beaconsfield, flats, shops, and large township areas such as Galeshewe and Roodepan. Older buildings often have steel windows, sash windows and thick walls, and heritage rules may apply in parts of the centre, so check before changing a facade. Houses commonly fit trellis doors, slamlock gates and window bars, and shops fit heavier gates and roller-type bars. Summers are very hot and dry, with dust in hinges and tracks. Fabricators and installers work from the city and its industrial areas.
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
- Shops and restaurants: a lockable gate over the shopfront and a folding unit for the delivery door
- 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
- Offices and practices: a tidy entrance gate for after hours and a stronger gate on a stock room
- Schools, clinics and churches: bulk gates for classrooms and clinics that must keep escape routes clear
- Factories and warehouses: wide, heavy gates on loading doors, stores and tool cribs
- Farms and smallholdings: heavy gates over the farmhouse doors and the stores, built from thick tube
Local tips for Kimberley
In Kimberley, what people fit most is this: trellis doors and window bars on older houses, heavy gates on shops. Makers and installers: fabricators and installers in Kimberley and the industrial areas. A useful tip: if your building is old, ask the council whether heritage rules cover the front.
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: old plaster and thick walls in historic homes: ask how fixings go into soft brick.
