Security doors, gates and bars in Johannesburg
Johannesburg is a mix of older face-brick houses with steel-framed windows, townhouse complexes, flats and busy shopping strips, so the security work varies a lot from suburb to suburb. Trellis doors and slamlock gates are common on houses in the northern and western suburbs, while clear bars suit newer aluminium windows where owners want to keep the view. Flats usually need body corporate approval before anything is fitted to a balcony or front door. Shops and workshops in the southern industrial areas favour heavy bars and steel doors. Highveld summer storms and hail make a good paint finish worthwhile, and fabricators are spread across the city.

Typical burglar bar designs requests in the area come from:
- Houses: scroll or cottage pane bars on the street-facing windows, plain bars at the back
- Townhouses and complexes: slim modern frames in the colour the complex allows
- Flats and apartments: simple, light designs that do not block the view or fire escape
- Shops and restaurants: slim frames or clear bars that keep the display visible
- Factories and warehouses: plain heavy bars for offices and workshops in a yard
- Offices and practices: tidy modern frames that match the building
- Schools, clinics and churches: durable plain designs specified for schools and clinics
