Security doors, gates and bars in Eastern Cape
The Eastern Cape runs from Gqeberha and East London on the coast through Makhanda, Graaff-Reinet and the Karoo to Mthatha and the former Transkei. Older houses in Gqeberha and Makhanda often have steel sash windows and thick walls, and newer homes use aluminium frames. Coastal towns such as Jeffreys Bay and Port Alfred face salt air that rusts untreated steel, while inland farms and small towns need robust gates on stores and workshops. Many rural and township homes rely on a steel door and simple bars. Fabricators work mainly from Gqeberha, East London and Mthatha, and travel to smaller towns for larger jobs.

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
- Farms and smallholdings: heavy steel doors on the farmhouse, workshop, feed store and chemical room
- 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
- Flats and apartments: a robust door on a ground-floor entrance or a stairwell landing
- Schools, clinics and churches: bulk steel doors for classrooms, stores and clinic pharmacies
- Factories and warehouses: heavy plate-skinned doors for plant rooms, stores and loading bays
- Offices and practices: a steel door for the server room, archive or cash office
