Security doors, gates and bars in Upington
Upington is a hot desert town on the Orange River, with face-brick and plastered houses, flats, shops and lodges, and township areas such as Paballelo and Louisvale. Along the river, vineyards and date and raisin farms order steel doors, gates and framed bars for packsheds and stores. Houses usually fit trellis doors, slamlock gates and window bars. Summers are extremely hot, which can warm steel and dry out paint, and fine dust works into hinges and sliding tracks. Powder coat and sealed bearings help. Fabricators and installers work from Upington, and many travel along the river to Keimoes and Kakamas.
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
- 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
- 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
