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 slamlock security gates requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a slamlock gate on the kitchen and back doors so it latches when your hands are full
- Townhouses and complexes: a gate on the patio door, often in black or white to meet the rules
- Flats and apartments: a slim slamlock gate on the front door with an inside release
- Shops and restaurants: a latching gate on the staff entrance and delivery door
- Factories and warehouses: heavy slamlock gates on stores and compounds, built from thick tube
- Schools, clinics and churches: slamlock gates on stores, with inside release to meet escape rules
- Farms and smallholdings: strong keyed-alike gates for the house, dairy and tool rooms
