Security doors, gates and bars in Upington
Upington is a hot desert town on the Orange River, with face-brick and plastered houses, flats, shops and lodges, and township areas such as Paballelo and Louisvale. Along the river, vineyards and date and raisin farms order steel doors, gates and framed bars for packsheds and stores. Houses usually fit trellis doors, slamlock gates and window bars. Summers are extremely hot, which can warm steel and dry out paint, and fine dust works into hinges and sliding tracks. Powder coat and sealed bearings help. Fabricators and installers work from Upington, and many travel along the river to Keimoes and Kakamas.
