Security doors, gates and bars in Cape Town
Cape Town has an enormous variety of buildings: Victorian terraces in Woodstock and Salt River, face-brick suburban houses in Claremont and Bellville, flats along the Atlantic seaboard, townhouse estates and the informal and formal areas of the Cape Flats. Salt air and strong south-easterly winds corrode steel on the coast, so galvanised or powder-coated doors and bars with stainless fixings make sense, and heritage areas may restrict what can go on the front of a house. Industrial users in Montague Gardens, Epping and Paarden Eiland order heavy gates and steel doors. Fabricators work from these industrial areas and across the metro.
Typical burglar bar prices requests in the area come from:
- Houses: bars on every ground-floor window, priced per window and matched in colour
- Flats and apartments: bars on balcony and ground-floor windows, with a quick-release on one bedroom opening
- Townhouses and complexes: a uniform set of bars that meets the complex rules, often quoted for the whole unit
- Shops and restaurants: bars on side and rear windows, with a folding gate across the front
- Factories and warehouses: heavy bars on offices and stores, priced by steel weight
- Offices and practices: neat or clear bars that protect without darkening the room
- Schools, clinics and churches: bulk bar orders for classrooms and clinics, with escape-route panels where needed
- Farms and smallholdings: heavier bars on isolated houses, with galvanising and travel on the quote
