Tell us the style you like and the window sizes so fabricators serving KwaZulu-Natal and the rest of KwaZulu-Natal can quote the right pattern.

Security doors, gates and bars in KwaZulu-Natal
KwaZulu-Natal spans Durban's coastal suburbs and beachfront flats, Umhlanga and Ballito estates, Pietermaritzburg's older houses, inland towns like Newcastle, and large township and rural areas. Salt air and humidity along the coast corrode ordinary steel quickly, so galvanising and a good paint system matter far more than the small extra cost. Houses often have steel or aluminium windows, and many flats and complexes have body corporate rules on gate and bar styles. Trellis doors, slamlock gates and clear bars are all common. Fabricators and installers work from areas such as Pinetown, Springfield, Jacobs and Pietermaritzburg, and travel to the North and South Coasts.

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
- Flats and apartments: simple, light designs that do not block the view or fire escape
- Townhouses and complexes: slim modern frames in the colour the complex allows
- 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
- Schools, clinics and churches: durable plain designs specified for schools and clinics
- Farms and smallholdings: strong plain or cottage pane bars suited to farmhouse windows
- Offices and practices: tidy modern frames that match the building

Most work in KwaZulu-Natal comes from here: fabricators in Pinetown, Springfield, Jacobs and Pietermaritzburg.
