Security doors, gates and bars in Pietermaritzburg
Pietermaritzburg has many older face-brick homes with steel windows and wooden doors in Scottsville, Clarendon and Hayfields, together with townhouse complexes, student flats and schools. Wooden frames and old plaster call for longer fixings and careful drilling, and steel security doors suit the older entrances. The city sits in a warm hollow with humid summers and hard storms, so painted steel needs a zinc primer to resist rust. Farms and smallholdings around Hilton, Howick and the Midlands often fit heavier bars and steel doors on stores. Fabricators work from Willowton, Mkondeni and Pietermaritzburg's industrial zones, and also serve Edendale and Imbali.
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
- 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
- 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
Local tips for Pietermaritzburg
In Pietermaritzburg, what people fit most is this: steel security doors for older homes, trellis doors, bars for schools and clinics. Makers and installers: fabricators in Willowton, Mkondeni and Camps Drift. A useful tip: ask how the frame is fixed on old houses, as soft plaster can crumble.
