Security doors, gates and bars in Northern Cape
The Northern Cape is the largest and most thinly populated province, with Kimberley as its main city, Upington on the Orange River, mining towns like Kathu and Kuruman, and small Karoo and Namaqualand towns. Houses are often single-storey face brick or plaster, with older steel windows and some thick-walled Karoo and heritage buildings where fixing needs care. Farms, guesthouses and shops use gates and bars on stores and outbuildings, and many businesses want heavy gates on shopfronts. Dry heat, wind and dust are hard on finishes and moving parts. Fabricators work mainly from Kimberley and Upington, so distance can affect lead times and travel costs.
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
- 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
- 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
- Flats and apartments: a light gate over a balcony slider that does not stick out of the building
