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 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
- Townhouses and complexes: a steel door to a garage or a bin store, painted to suit the complex
- Flats and apartments: a steel door for a meter room, a storeroom or a refuse area
- Factories and warehouses: double steel doors on plant rooms, stores, boiler rooms and workshops
- Offices and practices: a steel door for server, archive and plant rooms
- Schools, clinics and churches: fire-rated and plain steel doors for plant rooms, stores and kitchens
