Security doors, gates and bars in Richards Bay
Richards Bay is a port and industrial town where salt air, high humidity and heat shorten the life of ordinary steel. Houses in Meerensee, Arboretum and Birdswood, townhouse complexes and guesthouses near the lagoon all benefit from galvanised trellis doors, slamlock gates and clear bars with stainless fixings. Older homes in Empangeni and eNseleni often have steel windows that rust from the inside, while newer RDP and township houses in Esikhaleni usually have simple steel frames and need standard-size bars. Industrial users in the harbour area order heavy gates, strong doors and fences in bulk. Fabricators work from Richards Bay and Empangeni.
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
- Factories and warehouses: internal pull gates for tool stores, with a stronger gate outside
- Shops and restaurants: a wide pull-across gate over the shopfront that folds to the side
- Farms and smallholdings: a quick option for store rooms and outbuilding doors that need ventilation
- 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
