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 sliding door security gates requests in the area come from:
- Shops and restaurants: a sliding gate behind the glass on a rear delivery door
- Houses: a track gate over the patio slider that slides open on summer evenings
- Schools, clinics and churches: sliding gates for hall and canteen doors, with inside release
- Farms and smallholdings: wide sliding gates over farmhouse stoep doors, fixed with chemical anchors
- Factories and warehouses: sliding gates on wide loading doors where hinged leaves are too heavy
- Offices and practices: a neat sliding gate over a boardroom or patio door that opens to a garden
- Townhouses and complexes: a gate in the approved colour that stays within the patio line
