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 prices requests in the area come from:
- Houses: bars on every ground-floor window, priced per window and matched in colour
- Townhouses and complexes: a uniform set of bars that meets the complex rules, often quoted for the whole unit
- Flats and apartments: bars on balcony and ground-floor windows, with a quick-release on one bedroom opening
- 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
