Security doors, gates and bars in Pietermaritzburg
Pietermaritzburg has many older face-brick homes with steel windows and wooden doors in Scottsville, Clarendon and Hayfields, together with townhouse complexes, student flats and schools. Wooden frames and old plaster call for longer fixings and careful drilling, and steel security doors suit the older entrances. The city sits in a warm hollow with humid summers and hard storms, so painted steel needs a zinc primer to resist rust. Farms and smallholdings around Hilton, Howick and the Midlands often fit heavier bars and steel doors on stores. Fabricators work from Willowton, Mkondeni and Pietermaritzburg's industrial zones, and also serve Edendale and Imbali.
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
- Schools, clinics and churches: bars on classroom and clinic windows, with release panels for escape
- Farms and smallholdings: bars on newer aluminium windows of homesteads, galvanised or aluminium for the weather
- 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
Local tips for Pietermaritzburg
Most work in Pietermaritzburg comes from here: fabricators in Willowton, Mkondeni and Camps Drift. Commonly fitted: steel security doors for older homes, trellis doors, bars for schools and clinics. When you ask for quotes, ask how the frame is fixed on old houses, as soft plaster can crumble.
Aluminium Window Burglar Bars are usually made in aluminium or galvanised steel tube and bars, most windows 600 to 2,100 mm wide, with fixed, hinged, or quick-release with latch and powder coat matched to the window frame. Locally: hot humid summers and old plaster: use long fixings into sound brick.
What to include in your request
- Window size in mm and whether it slides or opens out
- Frame colour and the finish you want on the bars
