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 steel doors and frames requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a solid steel door on the garage, laundry or a granny flat entrance
- Farms and smallholdings: steel doors on workshops, chemical stores, feed rooms and pump houses
- 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
- Flats and apartments: a steel door for a meter room, a storeroom or a refuse area
- Offices and practices: a steel door for server, archive and plant rooms
