Security doors, gates and bars in Tzaneen
Tzaneen sits in a green, humid part of Limpopo where citrus, avocado and mango farms surround the town. Houses are mostly face-brick with garden stoeps, along with townhouses, flats, shops and lodges, and township areas such as Nkowankowa and Lenyenye. Trellis doors, slamlock gates and bars on aluminium and steel windows are the usual choices. Farms and packhouses order steel doors, gates and framed bars for sheds and stores. Humidity and summer rain make rust a real concern, particularly near gardens and irrigation, so galvanised steel or a strong paint system is worth asking about. Fabricators and installers work from Tzaneen and Letsitele.

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
