Security doors, gates and bars in East London
East London stretches along the coast from Gonubie to Nahoon and inland to Mdantsane, so salt air and humidity are part of every steel order. Face-brick houses in Beacon Bay, Vincent and Berea, flats near the beachfront, townhouse complexes and sprawling township homes all use trellis doors, slamlock gates and bars. Older houses often have steel windows that rust at the frame, and newer ones have aluminium frames that suit clear bars. Factories in the Fort Jackson and Wilsonia industrial areas, close to the port, order heavy gates and double steel doors. Fabricators and installers work from those areas and also serve Bhisho and Qonce.
Typical steel doors and frames requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a solid steel door on the garage, laundry or a granny flat entrance
