Security doors, gates and bars in Pretoria
Pretoria has a large stock of older brick houses in suburbs such as Waterkloof, Brooklyn and Arcadia, many with steel window frames and wooden front doors that take a trellis door or a slamlock gate well. Newer townhouse complexes and flats use aluminium windows, where clear bars or bars fixed inside the frame are popular. Smallholdings and farms to the east and north often need longer gates and fenced-in yards, and shops along the main routes use heavy bars and steel doors. Fabricators work from industrial areas such as Silverton, Waltloo and Pretoria West and cover most of Tshwane. Hot, dry summers and afternoon storms are tough on poor paint.
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
- Farms and smallholdings: heavy bars on remote houses, stores and pump rooms, galvanised against weather
- 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
- Schools, clinics and churches: bars on clinic and classroom windows that meet fire and escape rules
Local tips for Pretoria
In Pretoria, what people fit most is this: slamlock and trellis doors on houses, clear bars in complexes, gates on smallholdings. Makers and installers: fabricators in Silverton, Waltloo and Pretoria West. A useful tip: older steel window frames: ask how the bars will be fixed to the frame.
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: hot sun and afternoon storms: a good powder coat lasts longer than plain paint.
