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 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
- Shops and restaurants: a lattice gate over a back door or a staff entrance
- Farms and smallholdings: a trellis door on the farmhouse veranda and the kitchen entrance
- 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
- Townhouses and complexes: a folding door across a patio opening, in a colour the complex approves
- Flats and apartments: a slim trellis gate at the front door that stacks away in a narrow passage
