Security doors, gates and bars in Johannesburg

Johannesburg is a mix of older face-brick houses with steel-framed windows, townhouse complexes, flats and busy shopping strips, so the security work varies a lot from suburb to suburb. Trellis doors and slamlock gates are common on houses in the northern and western suburbs, while clear bars suit newer aluminium windows where owners want to keep the view. Flats usually need body corporate approval before anything is fitted to a balcony or front door. Shops and workshops in the southern industrial areas favour heavy bars and steel doors. Highveld summer storms and hail make a good paint finish worthwhile, and fabricators are spread across the city.

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
