Security doors, gates and bars in Mthatha
Mthatha is the commercial centre of the Transkei, with busy shops in the town centre, houses in Southernwood, Fort Gale and Norwood, and large rural and township areas around Ngangelizwe and Mqanduli. Many shops order folding gates and steel back doors, while homes use trellis doors, steel windows with bars and slamlock gates. Heavy summer rain and humidity can rust unprotected steel, and rural homes far from tarred roads rely on standard-size doors that are easier to transport. Schools, clinics and municipal buildings buy in bulk and often need escape-route compliant gates. Fabricators work from Mthatha's industrial area and deliver across the district.
Typical window burglar bars requests in the area come from:
- Shops and restaurants: bars on side and rear windows and on storeroom openings
- Houses: bars on every window, with a hinged or quick-release panel in each bedroom
- Schools, clinics and churches: bars on ground-floor windows with release panels to meet escape rules
- Farms and smallholdings: stout galvanised bars on old steel windows of farmhouses and stores
- 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
- Townhouses and complexes: slim bars in the complex colour, kept inside the reveal where rules allow
