Who answers when the door stops
Smallholding barns, lakeside stands and township shopfronts.
We are a manufacturer rather than a reseller. Every door is cut, rolled and assembled at our own works and installed by our own teams, which is why we can still tell you the slat gauge and the spring rating on a door we fitted years ago.
Benoni spreads wider than most East Rand towns and the work spreads with it. Out at Putfontein, Cloverdene, Fairleads and the Small Farms the openings are wide, used seasonally and need to seal against weather and pilferage rather than cycle constantly — a barn door that stands for months and then works flat out for weeks is hard on springs, so we would rather set a service before the season than take a callout during it.
Closer in, the lakes shape the domestic work. Stands around Homestead Lake, Lakefield and the Rynfield dams sit on damp ground, and guides that never fully dry corrode from the inside out. We specify the fixings and the guide engagement for that and set shorter service intervals than we would on drier stands.
Daveyton, Etwatwa, Wattville and Actonville are the busiest trade frontages in the town. Those curtains are opened and shut twice a day every day for years into walls of very mixed quality, so we check the substrate before quoting and specify the slat and barrel for the duty rather than for the cheapest fit. Apex and Alliance are the industrial end, where a bay is cycled dozens of times a day and the door is a wear item, not a fitting.
