Security doors, gates and bars in Northern Cape
The Northern Cape is the largest and most thinly populated province, with Kimberley as its main city, Upington on the Orange River, mining towns like Kathu and Kuruman, and small Karoo and Namaqualand towns. Houses are often single-storey face brick or plaster, with older steel windows and some thick-walled Karoo and heritage buildings where fixing needs care. Farms, guesthouses and shops use gates and bars on stores and outbuildings, and many businesses want heavy gates on shopfronts. Dry heat, wind and dust are hard on finishes and moving parts. Fabricators work mainly from Kimberley and Upington, so distance can affect lead times and travel costs.
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
- Schools, clinics and churches: trellis doors for classroom and church entrances, with exit keys at hand
- 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
- Flats and apartments: a slim trellis gate at the front door that stacks away in a narrow passage
