Security doors, gates and bars in Welkom
Welkom is a planned gold-mining town built around roundabouts, with face-brick houses, townhouse complexes, flats and mine housing, plus Thabong township and nearby Odendaalsrus and Virginia. Mining has declined, so some older properties are being refitted or secured after standing empty. Houses commonly have trellis doors, slamlock gates and bars on steel windows, and shops and offices fit heavier gates and roller-type bars. Industrial sites and workshops order steel doors and frames. The climate is dry with hot summers and cold winters, so dust and rust in older fittings are common repair jobs. Fabricators and installers work from Welkom and its industrial areas.
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
- Shops and restaurants: a sliding gate behind the glass on a rear delivery door
- 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
- 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
- Schools, clinics and churches: sliding gates for hall and canteen doors, with inside release
