Security doors, gates and bars in Newcastle
Newcastle serves northern KwaZulu-Natal with a mix of face-brick homes in Fernwood, Lennoxton and Pioneer Park, townhouses, and large township areas such as Madadeni and Osizweni. Many older houses still have steel windows with simple trellis doors, and newer builds use aluminium frames. Summers are hot with heavy thunderstorms, while winter frosts and dry air are tougher on paint than rust, though a zinc primer is still worth having. Shops in the town centre order folding gates and steel back doors, and factories in the industrial area need heavy slamlock gates. Fabricators work from the Newcastle industrial area and also serve Dannhauser and Utrecht.
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
- Shops and restaurants: bars on side and rear windows and on storeroom openings
- Factories and warehouses: heavy frames over office, canteen and stores windows
- Townhouses and complexes: slim bars in the complex colour, kept inside the reveal where rules allow
- 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
- Flats and apartments: bars on ground-floor and balcony windows, with an escape window in each bedroom
Local tips for Newcastle
In Newcastle, what people fit most is this: trellis doors and bars for houses, folding gates and steel doors for shops. Makers and installers: fabricators in the Newcastle industrial area and Madadeni. A useful tip: ask for the bars to be fixed through the brick and not only into plaster.
