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.
