Security doors, gates and bars in Kimberley
Kimberley is an old Karoo city with Victorian and Edwardian buildings, face-brick houses in Hadison Park and Beaconsfield, flats, shops, and large township areas such as Galeshewe and Roodepan. Older buildings often have steel windows, sash windows and thick walls, and heritage rules may apply in parts of the centre, so check before changing a facade. Houses commonly fit trellis doors, slamlock gates and window bars, and shops fit heavier gates and roller-type bars. Summers are very hot and dry, with dust in hinges and tracks. Fabricators and installers work from the city and its industrial areas.
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
- 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
- Townhouses and complexes: a steel door on a ground-floor patio entrance, in colours the body corporate allows
- Offices and practices: a steel door for the server room, archive or cash office
- 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
- Farms and smallholdings: heavy steel doors on the farmhouse, workshop, feed store and chemical room
Local tips for Kimberley
Most work in Kimberley comes from here: fabricators and installers in Kimberley and the industrial areas. Commonly fitted: trellis doors and window bars on older houses, heavy gates on shops. When you ask for quotes, if your building is old, ask the council whether heritage rules cover the front.
Steel Security Doors are usually made in 40 x 40 mm tube frame, 2 mm kick panel, mesh, up to 1,200 x 2,400 mm per leaf, with deadbolt or multi-point lock, keyed both sides and galvanised, then powder coat. Locally: old plaster and thick walls in historic homes: ask how fixings go into soft brick.
What to include in your request
- Width and height of the opening in mm, smallest of three readings
- Infill: bars, expanded mesh or fully solid
- Frame tube size and plate thickness if you know them
- Lock type, and whether it must open without a key from inside
