Door Burglar Bars in KwaZulu-Natal
Door burglar bars in KwaZulu-Natal 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 KwaZulu-Natal and the rest of KwaZulu-Natal can quote accurately.

Security doors, gates and bars in KwaZulu-Natal
KwaZulu-Natal spans Durban's coastal suburbs and beachfront flats, Umhlanga and Ballito estates, Pietermaritzburg's older houses, inland towns like Newcastle, and large township and rural areas. Salt air and humidity along the coast corrode ordinary steel quickly, so galvanising and a good paint system matter far more than the small extra cost. Houses often have steel or aluminium windows, and many flats and complexes have body corporate rules on gate and bar styles. Trellis doors, slamlock gates and clear bars are all common. Fabricators and installers work from areas such as Pinetown, Springfield, Jacobs and Pietermaritzburg, and travel to the North and South Coasts.
Typical door burglar bars requests in the area come from:
- Houses: bars over the kitchen and patio doors, matched to the window bars
- Flats and apartments: a bar gate over a balcony door that still opens from inside
- Townhouses and complexes: bars on the rear patio door in the colour the body corporate allows
- 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
- Schools, clinics and churches: bars on classroom and clinic doors, specified in the tender
- Farms and smallholdings: heavy bars over back doors and the doors of outbuildings
- Offices and practices: neat bars over a ground-floor door onto a parking area
Local tips for KwaZulu-Natal
Most work in KwaZulu-Natal comes from here: fabricators in Pinetown, Springfield, Jacobs and Pietermaritzburg. Commonly fitted: galvanised bars and gates near the coast, clear bars and trellis doors in complexes. When you ask for quotes, check your body corporate's rules, and ask for stainless or coated fixings.
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 near the sea: ask for galvanised steel and sealed welds.
What to include in your request
- Width and height of each door opening in mm
- Fixed bars or a hinged section with a lock
