Security doors, gates and bars in Free State
The Free State has Bloemfontein as its main city, the goldfields towns around Welkom and Kroonstad, industrial Sasolburg, and the eastern towns of Bethlehem, Harrismith and Clarens. Older houses often have steel windows and sandstone or face-brick walls, while newer ones use aluminium frames. Security doors, trellis gates and burglar bars are common on houses and flats, and shops and offices in town centres tend to fit heavier gates. Farms need gates and bars for stores, sheds and workshops. Cold winters with frost and hot dry summers move steel and loosen fixings, so good anchoring matters. Fabricators are concentrated in Bloemfontein, Welkom and Sasolburg.
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
- Shops and restaurants: bars on side and rear windows and on storeroom openings
- Townhouses and complexes: slim bars in the complex colour, kept inside the reveal where rules allow
- Factories and warehouses: heavy frames over office, canteen and stores windows
- Schools, clinics and churches: bars on ground-floor windows with release panels to meet escape rules
- Flats and apartments: bars on ground-floor and balcony windows, with an escape window in each bedroom
- Offices and practices: window bars fitted in a neat style for ground-floor offices and archive rooms
