Security doors, gates and bars in Gauteng
Gauteng mixes older face-brick houses in suburbs like Boksburg, Brakpan and Pretoria East with newer townhouse complexes in Midrand, Centurion and Fourways, and a large stock of flats and RDP and township homes. Older houses often have steel windows that take welded burglar bars, while newer builds use aluminium frames that suit clear bars or bars fixed into the reveal. Trellis doors and slamlock gates are the usual choice on front and kitchen doors, and complexes may set colour and style rules. Summer thunderstorms and dry winters are hard on poor paint. Fabricators work from industrial areas such as Germiston, Wadeville, Alrode and Pretoria West.
Typical burglar bars requests in the area come from:
- Houses: steel bars on every window, with a quick-release panel in each bedroom
- Townhouses and complexes: bars in a body corporate approved style, often slim and matching the frames
- Flats and apartments: bars on ground-floor and balcony windows, with a way out kept in each bedroom
- Shops and restaurants: bars over rear windows, storerooms and vents, with a clear view where needed
- Factories and warehouses: heavy mesh and bars on offices, vents and stores in factories and yards
- Offices and practices: neat bars or clear bars on ground-floor windows without darkening the room
- Schools, clinics and churches: bars on clinic and classroom windows that meet fire and escape rules
- Farms and smallholdings: heavy bars on remote houses, stores and pump rooms, galvanised against weather
