Security doors, gates and bars in Mthatha
Mthatha is the commercial centre of the Transkei, with busy shops in the town centre, houses in Southernwood, Fort Gale and Norwood, and large rural and township areas around Ngangelizwe and Mqanduli. Many shops order folding gates and steel back doors, while homes use trellis doors, steel windows with bars and slamlock gates. Heavy summer rain and humidity can rust unprotected steel, and rural homes far from tarred roads rely on standard-size doors that are easier to transport. Schools, clinics and municipal buildings buy in bulk and often need escape-route compliant gates. Fabricators work from Mthatha's industrial area and deliver across the district.
Typical trellis doors requests in the area come from:
- Shops and restaurants: a lattice gate over a back door or a staff entrance
- Houses: a trellis door on the front and kitchen doors that folds clear for light and air
- Schools, clinics and churches: trellis doors for classroom and church entrances, with exit keys at hand
- 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
- Offices and practices: a light trellis gate for a reception door or a stationery room
- Townhouses and complexes: a folding door across a patio opening, in a colour the complex approves
