Security doors, gates and bars in Free State
The Free State has Bloemfontein as its main city, the goldfields towns around Welkom and Kroonstad, industrial Sasolburg, and the eastern towns of Bethlehem, Harrismith and Clarens. Older houses often have steel windows and sandstone or face-brick walls, while newer ones use aluminium frames. Security doors, trellis gates and burglar bars are common on houses and flats, and shops and offices in town centres tend to fit heavier gates. Farms need gates and bars for stores, sheds and workshops. Cold winters with frost and hot dry summers move steel and loosen fixings, so good anchoring matters. Fabricators are concentrated in Bloemfontein, Welkom and Sasolburg.
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
- Shops and restaurants: a lattice gate over a back door or a staff entrance
- Townhouses and complexes: a folding door across a patio opening, in a colour the complex approves
- Factories and warehouses: occasional use on office doors, with steel doors elsewhere
- Schools, clinics and churches: trellis doors for classroom and church entrances, with exit keys at hand
- Flats and apartments: a slim trellis gate at the front door that stacks away in a narrow passage
- Offices and practices: a light trellis gate for a reception door or a stationery room
