Security doors, gates and bars in Eastern Cape
The Eastern Cape runs from Gqeberha and East London on the coast through Makhanda, Graaff-Reinet and the Karoo to Mthatha and the former Transkei. Older houses in Gqeberha and Makhanda often have steel sash windows and thick walls, and newer homes use aluminium frames. Coastal towns such as Jeffreys Bay and Port Alfred face salt air that rusts untreated steel, while inland farms and small towns need robust gates on stores and workshops. Many rural and township homes rely on a steel door and simple bars. Fabricators work mainly from Gqeberha, East London and Mthatha, and travel to smaller towns for larger jobs.
Typical window burglar bars requests in the area come from:
- Houses: bars on every window, with a hinged or quick-release panel in each bedroom
- Farms and smallholdings: stout galvanised bars on old steel windows of farmhouses and stores
- Townhouses and complexes: slim bars in the complex colour, kept inside the reveal where rules allow
- Shops and restaurants: bars on side and rear windows and on storeroom openings
- Flats and apartments: bars on ground-floor and balcony windows, with an escape window in each bedroom
- Schools, clinics and churches: bars on ground-floor windows with release panels to meet escape rules
- Factories and warehouses: heavy frames over office, canteen and stores windows
- Offices and practices: window bars fitted in a neat style for ground-floor offices and archive rooms
Local tips for Eastern Cape
Common here: galvanised gates and bars on the coast, steel doors and bars on rural and township homes. Ask each installer to allow for this: ask whether old steel windows can take new bars or need repair first. Work usually comes from here: fabricators in Gqeberha, East London and Mthatha.
Window Burglar Bars are usually made in steel tube frame with 12 or 16 mm solid bars, most windows 600 to 1,800 mm wide, with fixed, or hinged with an inside latch or lock and powder coat over galvanised steel. Locally: salt air and wind on the coast: ask for galvanised steel with a sealed paint finish.
What to include in your request
- Width and height of every window in mm
- Which windows open outwards and which way
- Which bedroom windows need a quick-release panel
- Bar pattern and spacing you prefer
- Frame type and wall finish around the window
