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 security doors requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a mesh-topped steel door on the back and side doors where a light gate would not last
- Flats and apartments: a robust door on a ground-floor entrance or a stairwell landing
- Townhouses and complexes: a steel door on a ground-floor patio entrance, in colours the body corporate allows
- Shops and restaurants: a solid or mesh steel door at the staff entrance and the storeroom
- Factories and warehouses: heavy plate-skinned doors for plant rooms, stores and loading bays
- Schools, clinics and churches: bulk steel doors for classrooms, stores and clinic pharmacies
- Offices and practices: a steel door for the server room, archive or cash office
