Security doors, gates and bars in Ladysmith
Ladysmith is a Klip River service town with older face-brick houses on wide streets, steel-framed windows in the town centre and large township areas such as Ezakheni and Steadville. Summers are hot and often stormy, so wind-driven rain gets into poorly sealed fixings and can rust the bar ends. Shops along Murchison Street and the main roads order folding shopfront gates and steel back doors, and farms on the Klip River flats ask for heavy bars and steel store doors. Fabricators in the industrial area build trellis doors, slamlock gates and security gates, and travel to Colenso, Elandslaagte and the Drakensberg foothills for larger orders.

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
- Farms and smallholdings: heavy steel doors on the farmhouse, workshop, feed store and chemical room
- 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
- Townhouses and complexes: a steel door on a ground-floor patio entrance, in colours the body corporate allows
- Flats and apartments: a robust door on a ground-floor entrance or a stairwell landing
