Security doors, gates and bars in Stellenbosch
Stellenbosch is a university and wine town where historic Cape Dutch houses sit beside student flats, townhouse estates, wine farms and the township of Kayamandi. Heritage areas around Dorp Street restrict what can be fitted to the front, so clear bars and simple dark trellis doors are usual. Student blocks near the university buy bars and security gates in bulk, and estates often have strict colour and design rules. Thick old walls need masonry drills and long fixings. Hot dry summers and wet winters are fairly gentle on galvanised steel. Fabricators work from Stellenbosch Industria and Somerset West and also serve Jamestown and Franschhoek.

Typical burglar bars requests in the area come from:
- Houses: steel bars on every window, with a quick-release panel in each bedroom
- Flats and apartments: bars on ground-floor and balcony windows, with a way out kept in each bedroom
- Townhouses and complexes: bars in a body corporate approved style, often slim and matching the frames
- 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
- Schools, clinics and churches: bars on clinic and classroom windows that meet fire and escape rules
- Offices and practices: neat bars or clear bars on ground-floor windows without darkening the room
