Security doors, gates and bars in Newcastle
Newcastle serves northern KwaZulu-Natal with a mix of face-brick homes in Fernwood, Lennoxton and Pioneer Park, townhouses, and large township areas such as Madadeni and Osizweni. Many older houses still have steel windows with simple trellis doors, and newer builds use aluminium frames. Summers are hot with heavy thunderstorms, while winter frosts and dry air are tougher on paint than rust, though a zinc primer is still worth having. Shops in the town centre order folding gates and steel back doors, and factories in the industrial area need heavy slamlock gates. Fabricators work from the Newcastle industrial area and also serve Dannhauser and Utrecht.
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
- 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
- Townhouses and complexes: a gate on the patio door, often in black or white to meet the rules
- 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
- Flats and apartments: a slim slamlock gate on the front door with an inside release
Local tips for Newcastle
Most work in Newcastle comes from here: fabricators in the Newcastle industrial area and Madadeni. Commonly fitted: trellis doors and bars for houses, folding gates and steel doors for shops. When you ask for quotes, ask for the bars to be fixed through the brick and not only into plaster.
Slamlock Security Gates are usually made in 25 x 25 mm tube, 12 to 16 mm bars, single gates up to 1,000 x 2,200 mm, with slam latch with a key deadbolt, keyed alike and powder coat over galvanised steel. Locally: hot storms and cold dry winters: paint needs a proper zinc primer.
What to include in your request
- Opening width and height in mm
- Round or square bars and the gap you prefer
- Keyed alike across several gates
- Whether you need an inside thumb-turn
- Wall type for the lock keeper fixing
