Security doors, gates and bars in Randburg

Randburg has many mature suburbs such as Ferndale, Linden and Blairgowrie, with face-brick houses from several decades, often with steel windows that suit burglar bars and a trellis door at the front and back. Townhouse complexes and flats cluster around the central area and along the main roads, where body corporate rules apply. Newer homes in Bromhof and Northgate have aluminium windows, which are usually fitted with clear bars. The Randburg CBD, Strijdom Park and Honeydew have shops and light industry using heavy bars, steel doors and roller gates. Fabricators work from Strijdom Park and Honeydew and can usually reach the surrounding northern suburbs within a day.
