Security doors, gates and bars in Pretoria
Pretoria has a large stock of older brick houses in suburbs such as Waterkloof, Brooklyn and Arcadia, many with steel window frames and wooden front doors that take a trellis door or a slamlock gate well. Newer townhouse complexes and flats use aluminium windows, where clear bars or bars fixed inside the frame are popular. Smallholdings and farms to the east and north often need longer gates and fenced-in yards, and shops along the main routes use heavy bars and steel doors. Fabricators work from industrial areas such as Silverton, Waltloo and Pretoria West and cover most of Tshwane. Hot, dry summers and afternoon storms are tough on poor paint.
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
- 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
- Schools, clinics and churches: bars on classroom and clinic doors, specified in the tender
Local tips for Pretoria
Most work in Pretoria comes from here: fabricators in Silverton, Waltloo and Pretoria West. Commonly fitted: slamlock and trellis doors on houses, clear bars in complexes, gates on smallholdings. When you ask for quotes, older steel window frames: ask how the bars will be fixed to the frame.
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: hot sun and afternoon storms: a good powder coat lasts longer than plain paint.
What to include in your request
- Width and height of each door opening in mm
- Fixed bars or a hinged section with a lock
- Which way the door opens and where the handle sits
- Inside or outside the glass
- Wall type, colour and whether you are near the sea
The more detail you give, the more accurate your quote will be.
