Security doors, gates and bars in Durban
Durban's housing runs from face-brick houses in Berea, Morningside and Westville to townhouse complexes in Umhlanga and flats along the beachfront. Warm, humid, salt-laden air attacks bare steel quickly, so galvanised or well-painted trellis doors, slamlock gates and clear bars last noticeably longer than plain mild steel, and stainless or galvanised fixings keep rust streaks off the brickwork. Older homes often have steel-framed windows that need custom-made bars, while newer ones have aluminium frames suited to clear bars. Yards and factories in Prospecton, Jacobs and Pinetown call for heavy slamlock gates and double steel doors. Fabricators and installers work from the southern basin, Springfield and the North Coast.

Typical clear burglar bars requests in the area come from:
- Houses: clear bars on view windows and patio panels, steel bars kept at the back
- Townhouses and complexes: clear bars that keep the view and pass complex colour and style rules
- Flats and apartments: see-through bars on balcony and high-rise windows without blocking the outlook
- Shops and restaurants: clear bars behind or outside show windows so customers still see the display
- Factories and warehouses: clear bars on front offices and canteens, steel kept for the stores
- Offices and practices: tidy clear bars for reception and meeting room windows that keep daylight
- Schools, clinics and churches: clear bars on school and clinic windows, with release panels for escape
