Security doors, gates and bars in Richards Bay
Richards Bay is a port and industrial town where salt air, high humidity and heat shorten the life of ordinary steel. Houses in Meerensee, Arboretum and Birdswood, townhouse complexes and guesthouses near the lagoon all benefit from galvanised trellis doors, slamlock gates and clear bars with stainless fixings. Older homes in Empangeni and eNseleni often have steel windows that rust from the inside, while newer RDP and township houses in Esikhaleni usually have simple steel frames and need standard-size bars. Industrial users in the harbour area order heavy gates, strong doors and fences in bulk. Fabricators work from Richards Bay and Empangeni.

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
- Factories and warehouses: plain heavy bars for offices and workshops in a yard
- Shops and restaurants: slim frames or clear bars that keep the display visible
- Farms and smallholdings: strong plain or cottage pane bars suited to farmhouse windows
- Schools, clinics and churches: durable plain designs specified for schools and clinics
- Flats and apartments: simple, light designs that do not block the view or fire escape
