Security doors, gates and bars in Pietermaritzburg
Pietermaritzburg has many older face-brick homes with steel windows and wooden doors in Scottsville, Clarendon and Hayfields, together with townhouse complexes, student flats and schools. Wooden frames and old plaster call for longer fixings and careful drilling, and steel security doors suit the older entrances. The city sits in a warm hollow with humid summers and hard storms, so painted steel needs a zinc primer to resist rust. Farms and smallholdings around Hilton, Howick and the Midlands often fit heavier bars and steel doors on stores. Fabricators work from Willowton, Mkondeni and Pietermaritzburg's industrial zones, and also serve Edendale and Imbali.
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
- 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
- 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
