Security doors, gates and bars in Bloemfontein
Bloemfontein is a large Free State city with older face-brick houses in Brandwag and Waverley, newer townhouse complexes in Langenhoven Park and Bainsvlei, student flats near the university, and big township areas such as Mangaung and Botshabelo. Older houses often have steel windows with welded bars, while newer builds use aluminium. Trellis doors, slamlock gates, sliding door gates and clear bars are all common. Government offices, schools and shops order steel doors and heavier gates. Winters are cold and dry and summers hot with storms. Fabricators and installers work from several industrial areas in the city, with a good choice of suppliers for most jobs.
Typical sliding door security gates requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a track gate over the patio slider that slides open on summer evenings
- Townhouses and complexes: a gate in the approved colour that stays within the patio line
- Flats and apartments: a light gate over a balcony slider that does not stick out of the building
- Shops and restaurants: a sliding gate behind the glass on a rear delivery door
- Offices and practices: a neat sliding gate over a boardroom or patio door that opens to a garden
- Schools, clinics and churches: sliding gates for hall and canteen doors, with inside release
- Factories and warehouses: sliding gates on wide loading doors where hinged leaves are too heavy
- Farms and smallholdings: wide sliding gates over farmhouse stoep doors, fixed with chemical anchors

Locally: big temperature swings and summer storms: seal welds and keep the paint intact.
