Security doors, gates and bars in North West
North West covers fast growing Rustenburg and its platinum belt, the Hartbeespoort and Brits area, university and farming towns like Potchefstroom and Klerksdorp, and wide maize and cattle country. Many homes are face brick with steel or aluminium windows, with a large number of RDP and township houses where simple burglar bars and a single security door are the usual upgrade. Farm homesteads and worker housing need gates and bars on stores, sheds and workshops. Dry heat and dust are tough on locks and moving parts, and hollow block walls need the right anchors. Fabricators work mainly from Rustenburg, Brits, Klerksdorp and Potchefstroom, and travel to farms.
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
- 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
- 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
Local tips for North West

- 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
- Lock type and whether you want a key inside
