Security doors, gates and bars in Newcastle
Newcastle serves northern KwaZulu-Natal with a mix of face-brick homes in Fernwood, Lennoxton and Pioneer Park, townhouses, and large township areas such as Madadeni and Osizweni. Many older houses still have steel windows with simple trellis doors, and newer builds use aluminium frames. Summers are hot with heavy thunderstorms, while winter frosts and dry air are tougher on paint than rust, though a zinc primer is still worth having. Shops in the town centre order folding gates and steel back doors, and factories in the industrial area need heavy slamlock gates. Fabricators work from the Newcastle industrial area and also serve Dannhauser and Utrecht.
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
- Factories and warehouses: occasional use on office doors, with steel doors elsewhere
- Townhouses and complexes: a folding door across a patio opening, in a colour the complex approves
- 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
- Flats and apartments: a slim trellis gate at the front door that stacks away in a narrow passage
Local tips for Newcastle
In Newcastle, what people fit most is this: trellis doors and bars for houses, folding gates and steel doors for shops. Makers and installers: fabricators in the Newcastle industrial area and Madadeni. A useful tip: ask for the bars to be fixed through the brick and not only into plaster.
Trellis Doors are usually made in steel strip lattice on a tube frame, single leaf up to 1,200 x 2,200 mm, with cylinder lock in the stile or padlock hasp and powder coat, black or white most common. Locally: hot storms and cold dry winters: paint needs a proper zinc primer.

- Opening width and height in mm, measured at three points
- Single leaf or two leaves meeting in the middle
- Top-hung with a guide or full bottom track
