Security doors, gates and bars in Potchefstroom
Potchefstroom is a university and farming town with older face-brick houses and cottages in the centre, student flats and rooms around the campus, and newer townhouse complexes in Baillie Park and Van der Hoff Park. Landlords and student housing groups often order bars and trellis doors in bulk, and many rooms need a window that still opens from inside. Older houses have steel windows suited to welded bars, while newer ones use aluminium. Ikageng township homes fit window bars and steel doors. Summers are hot with storms. Fabricators and installers work from the town, and farm sheds and workshops order steel doors and framed gates.
Typical security gates requests in the area come from:
- Flats and apartments: a single gate over the front door that fits the passage without blocking neighbours
- 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
- Shops and restaurants: a lockable gate over the shopfront and a folding unit for the delivery door
- 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
- Offices and practices: a tidy entrance gate for after hours and a stronger gate on a stock room
- Factories and warehouses: wide, heavy gates on loading doors, stores and tool cribs
