                      FAQs Retractable Security Gates in Nelspruit

                      Are these gates strong enough to prevent break-ins?

                      Yes. Our gates use reinforced materials, tamper-proof locks, and secure fastenings, making them highly resistant to intrusion.

                      Can they be installed on uneven floors or old door frames?

                      Absolutely. We offer both top-hung and bottom-track systems to suit different surfaces.

                      Can I open and close them daily without wear?

                      Yes. Our gates are designed for frequent use, ideal for both homes and businesses.

                      Do they need a key to lock every time?

                      You can choose between key-locking systems or slam-lock functionality, depending on your preference.

                      Will they rust outdoors?

                      No. All gates are powder-coated and weather-treated to resist corrosion — perfect for outdoor or semi-exposed areas.
