East London notes on access & perimeter
Sea air shortens the life of gate motors, so look for sealed casings, galvanised racks and a battery box with a drain hole. Intercoms in older Southernwood flats may need new cabling because damp has damaged the original lines. Burglar bars should be hot dip galvanised and painted, and electric fencing should use stainless or aluminium wire along the coast.

Beacon Bay, Nahoon, Vincent and Gonubie have walled houses and security complexes, with alarms and armed response the usual starting point, while the Quigney and Oxford Street areas have older flats and offices that use guards and CCTV. Industry around the harbour, Wilsonia and the East London Industrial Development Zone needs perimeter fencing and guarding. Mdantsane and the villages toward Bhisho and Qonce use gate motors, bars and community patrols. Security firms work from East London, with some covering King William's Town side.
