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 trellis doors requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a trellis door on the front and kitchen doors that folds clear for light and air
- Farms and smallholdings: a trellis door on the farmhouse veranda and the kitchen entrance
- Townhouses and complexes: a folding door across a patio opening, in a colour the complex approves
- Shops and restaurants: a lattice gate over a back door or a staff entrance
- Flats and apartments: a slim trellis gate at the front door that stacks away in a narrow passage
- Schools, clinics and churches: trellis doors for classroom and church entrances, with exit keys at hand
- Factories and warehouses: occasional use on office doors, with steel doors elsewhere
- Offices and practices: a light trellis gate for a reception door or a stationery room
