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 slamlock security gates requests in the area come from:
- Shops and restaurants: a latching gate on the staff entrance and delivery door
- Houses: a slamlock gate on the kitchen and back doors so it latches when your hands are full
- 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
- Factories and warehouses: heavy slamlock gates on stores and compounds, built from thick tube
- Offices and practices: a gate on the server room or archive, using restricted keys
- Townhouses and complexes: a gate on the patio door, often in black or white to meet the rules
