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 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
- Farms and smallholdings: a quick option for store rooms and outbuilding doors that need ventilation
- Shops and restaurants: a wide pull-across gate over the shopfront that folds to the side
- Townhouses and complexes: a light gate over the sliding door in a colour the complex allows
- 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
- Flats and apartments: a gate across the balcony door or front passage when swing room is tight
- Offices and practices: a light internal gate that closes off a corridor or storeroom after hours
