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 requests in the area come from:
- Shops and restaurants: a lockable gate over the shopfront and a folding unit for the delivery door
- Houses: hinged bar gates on the front, kitchen and patio doors, with a lock you can open from inside
- 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
- Factories and warehouses: wide, heavy gates on loading doors, stores and tool cribs
- Offices and practices: a tidy entrance gate for after hours and a stronger gate on a stock room
- Townhouses and complexes: a gate in the approved colour over the patio or front door, fixed to the reveal
