Security doors, gates and bars in East London
East London stretches along the coast from Gonubie to Nahoon and inland to Mdantsane, so salt air and humidity are part of every steel order. Face-brick houses in Beacon Bay, Vincent and Berea, flats near the beachfront, townhouse complexes and sprawling township homes all use trellis doors, slamlock gates and bars. Older houses often have steel windows that rust at the frame, and newer ones have aluminium frames that suit clear bars. Factories in the Fort Jackson and Wilsonia industrial areas, close to the port, order heavy gates and double steel doors. Fabricators and installers work from those areas and also serve Bhisho and Qonce.
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
- Flats and apartments: a gate across the balcony door or front passage when swing room is tight
- Townhouses and complexes: a light gate over the sliding door in a colour the complex allows
- Shops and restaurants: a wide pull-across gate over the shopfront that folds to the side
- Factories and warehouses: internal pull gates for tool stores, with a stronger gate outside
- Schools, clinics and churches: inside gates for store rooms and offices, kept off escape routes
- Offices and practices: a light internal gate that closes off a corridor or storeroom after hours
