Security & access in Benoni: local notes

Rynfield and Northmead complexes typically want a boom gate for residents, a removable post at the emergency gate and fold-down posts in visitor bays. Smallholdings in Putfontein and Benoni North use simple manual booms or removable posts at the farm gate. Shops on Northmead's main streets ask about ram raid posts, and warehouses in Benoni South protect doors and racking.

Sites and streets in Benoni

Benoni is the East Rand's lake town. Parks and slipways around its lakes, sports clubs and lakeside homes in Lakefield and Farrarmere make it one of the few places in Gauteng where timber bollards, chain and post and lit paths are asked for as often as steel. Behind that, Northmead's busy shopping streets and the old Benoni CBD want sidewalk and shopfront posts, and Rynfield's complexes want boom gates and humps. The agricultural holdings around Putfontein and Benoni North have stables, nurseries and small factories that need farm gate booms and tough steel posts. Industry sits in Benoni South and Apex, where fabricators and gate installers work, and Daveyton's busy routes add municipal work.

The requests we see from Benoni usually come from:

  • Homeowners: a semi-automatic post at a long driveway entrance for a house on a busy street
  • Shops, malls and petrol stations: delivery lanes behind a mall that open for trucks and close after hours
  • Warehouses, factories and depots: plant gates where trucks pass on a schedule and the lane stays closed otherwise
