Door Burglar Bars in Durban
Door burglar bars in Durban are mostly ordered for patio and kitchen doors, for stacking doors at the back of townhouses and for glazed doors on shops. Give the door sizes, how the door opens and whether the bars should be fixed or hinged so fabricators and installers serving Durban and the rest of KwaZulu-Natal can quote accurately.

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 door burglar bars requests in the area come from:
- Houses: bars over the kitchen and patio doors, matched to the window bars
- Townhouses and complexes: bars on the rear patio door in the colour the body corporate allows
- Flats and apartments: a bar gate over a balcony door that still opens from inside
- Shops and restaurants: bars over a glazed back door or a rear delivery door
- Factories and warehouses: bars over the glass doors of offices inside a yard
- Offices and practices: neat bars over a ground-floor door onto a parking area
- Schools, clinics and churches: bars on classroom and clinic doors, specified in the tender
Local tips for Durban
Most work in Durban comes from here: fabricators in Prospecton, Springfield and along the North Coast. Commonly fitted: trellis doors on houses, clear bars on flats and townhouses, heavy gates in yards. When you ask for quotes, ask for hot-dip galvanising or a zinc primer coat before the final paint.
Door Burglar Bars are usually made in mild steel, 12 to 16 mm round or square bar, most doors 813 to 1,000 mm x 2,032 to 2,100 mm, with fixed, or hinged with a lock box and cylinder and powder coat, galvanised underneath on the coast. Locally: salt air and humidity: ask for galvanised steel and stainless fixings.
