Security doors, gates and bars in Durban
Durban's housing runs from face-brick houses in Berea, Morningside and Westville to townhouse complexes in Umhlanga and flats along the beachfront. Warm, humid, salt-laden air attacks bare steel quickly, so galvanised or well-painted trellis doors, slamlock gates and clear bars last noticeably longer than plain mild steel, and stainless or galvanised fixings keep rust streaks off the brickwork. Older homes often have steel-framed windows that need custom-made bars, while newer ones have aluminium frames suited to clear bars. Yards and factories in Prospecton, Jacobs and Pinetown call for heavy slamlock gates and double steel doors. Fabricators and installers work from the southern basin, Springfield and the North Coast.
Typical aluminium window burglar bars requests in the area come from:
- Houses: bars on aluminium windows anchored to the wall, with escape panels in bedrooms
- Townhouses and complexes: bars in a frame-matching colour that the body corporate approves in advance
- Flats and apartments: slim bars on ground-floor and balcony windows without cluttering the facade
- Shops and restaurants: bars behind or outside shop windows and on aluminium back office windows
- Factories and warehouses: bars on aluminium office and canteen windows within plants and warehouses
- Offices and practices: neat aluminium bars that match the building and keep the view
- Schools, clinics and churches: bars on classroom and clinic windows, with release panels for escape
