Security doors, gates and bars in Newcastle
Newcastle serves northern KwaZulu-Natal with a mix of face-brick homes in Fernwood, Lennoxton and Pioneer Park, townhouses, and large township areas such as Madadeni and Osizweni. Many older houses still have steel windows with simple trellis doors, and newer builds use aluminium frames. Summers are hot with heavy thunderstorms, while winter frosts and dry air are tougher on paint than rust, though a zinc primer is still worth having. Shops in the town centre order folding gates and steel back doors, and factories in the industrial area need heavy slamlock gates. Fabricators work from the Newcastle industrial area and also serve Dannhauser and Utrecht.
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
- Shops and restaurants: a solid steel staff door and storeroom door
- Factories and warehouses: double steel doors on plant rooms, stores, boiler rooms and workshops
- Townhouses and complexes: a steel door to a garage or a bin store, painted to suit the complex
- Schools, clinics and churches: fire-rated and plain steel doors for plant rooms, stores and kitchens
- Farms and smallholdings: steel doors on workshops, chemical stores, feed rooms and pump houses
- Flats and apartments: a steel door for a meter room, a storeroom or a refuse area
