Security doors, gates and bars in Bloemfontein
Bloemfontein is a large Free State city with older face-brick houses in Brandwag and Waverley, newer townhouse complexes in Langenhoven Park and Bainsvlei, student flats near the university, and big township areas such as Mangaung and Botshabelo. Older houses often have steel windows with welded bars, while newer builds use aluminium. Trellis doors, slamlock gates, sliding door gates and clear bars are all common. Government offices, schools and shops order steel doors and heavier gates. Winters are cold and dry and summers hot with storms. Fabricators and installers work from several industrial areas in the city, with a good choice of suppliers for most jobs.
Typical Xpanda-style security gates requests in the area come from:
- Houses: an expanding gate over a patio or back door that folds away in the day
- Townhouses and complexes: a light gate over the sliding door in a colour the complex allows
- Flats and apartments: a gate across the balcony door or front passage when swing room is tight
- Shops and restaurants: a wide pull-across gate over the shopfront that folds to the side
- Offices and practices: a light internal gate that closes off a corridor or storeroom after hours
- Schools, clinics and churches: inside gates for store rooms and offices, kept off escape routes
- Factories and warehouses: internal pull gates for tool stores, with a stronger gate outside
- Farms and smallholdings: a quick option for store rooms and outbuilding doors that need ventilation
