Security doors, gates and bars in North West
North West covers fast growing Rustenburg and its platinum belt, the Hartbeespoort and Brits area, university and farming towns like Potchefstroom and Klerksdorp, and wide maize and cattle country. Many homes are face brick with steel or aluminium windows, with a large number of RDP and township houses where simple burglar bars and a single security door are the usual upgrade. Farm homesteads and worker housing need gates and bars on stores, sheds and workshops. Dry heat and dust are tough on locks and moving parts, and hollow block walls need the right anchors. Fabricators work mainly from Rustenburg, Brits, Klerksdorp and Potchefstroom, and travel to farms.
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
- Farms and smallholdings: wide sliding gates over farmhouse stoep doors, fixed with chemical anchors
- Shops and restaurants: a sliding gate behind the glass on a rear delivery door
- Factories and warehouses: sliding gates on wide loading doors where hinged leaves are too heavy
- Townhouses and complexes: a gate in the approved colour that stays within the patio line
- Schools, clinics and churches: sliding gates for hall and canteen doors, with inside release
- Flats and apartments: a light gate over a balcony slider that does not stick out of the building
- Offices and practices: a neat sliding gate over a boardroom or patio door that opens to a garden
