Security doors, gates and bars in Midrand
Midrand has grown quickly, so much of the housing is recent: townhouse complexes, security estates and flats, mostly with aluminium windows and sliding doors. That makes sliding security gates, clear bars and neat steel-framed security doors the common choices, usually in a colour agreed with the body corporate. Older areas such as Halfway House and Vorna Valley have face-brick houses with steel windows that take traditional trellis doors and burglar bars. Business parks and warehouses along the highway need steel doors, roller gates and heavy bars. Fabricators work from Midrand's industrial areas and nearby Kempton Park and Randburg, and installers often handle whole complexes in one visit.
Typical burglar bars requests in the area come from:
- 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
- Houses: steel bars on every window, with a quick-release panel in each bedroom
- Offices and practices: neat bars or clear bars on ground-floor windows without darkening the room
- Factories and warehouses: heavy mesh and bars on offices, vents and stores in factories and yards
- Shops and restaurants: bars over rear windows, storerooms and vents, with a clear view where needed
- Schools, clinics and churches: bars on clinic and classroom windows that meet fire and escape rules
Local tips for Midrand
Common here: sliding gates and clear bars in complexes, trellis doors in older Halfway House homes. Ask each installer to allow for this: for a whole complex, ask for one price for matching doors across all units. Work usually comes from here: fabricators in Midrand industrial areas, with crews from Randburg and Kempton Park.
Burglar Bars are usually made in mild steel, 12 mm bars in a 20 x 20 mm frame, windows from 600 x 600 to 1,800 x 1,500 mm, with fixed, or hinged with an inside latch or key and powder coat, galvanised in coastal areas. Locally: aluminium frames in newer homes: ask for fixings that suit thin sections.
What to include in your request
- Number of openings with width and height of each in mm
- Window frame type: steel, aluminium or wood
- Fixed bars, or a quick-release panel on bedrooms
- Inside the reveal or fixed to the face of the wall
- Colour, finish and whether you are near the sea
