Security doors, gates and bars in Cape Town
Cape Town has an enormous variety of buildings: Victorian terraces in Woodstock and Salt River, face-brick suburban houses in Claremont and Bellville, flats along the Atlantic seaboard, townhouse estates and the informal and formal areas of the Cape Flats. Salt air and strong south-easterly winds corrode steel on the coast, so galvanised or powder-coated doors and bars with stainless fixings make sense, and heritage areas may restrict what can go on the front of a house. Industrial users in Montague Gardens, Epping and Paarden Eiland order heavy gates and steel doors. Fabricators work from these industrial areas and across the metro.

Typical front door security gates requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a front gate in a modern bar pattern that matches the window bars
- Flats and apartments: a neat gate on the entrance door that fits a shared passage
- Townhouses and complexes: a gate in the approved colour with slim bars that suits the facade
- Shops and restaurants: a gate over the street entrance that looks tidy when open
- Factories and warehouses: a plain steel gate on the site office entrance
- Offices and practices: a refined gate on the practice entrance or reception door
- Schools, clinics and churches: a gate on the front office door, kept clear of escape routes
- Farms and smallholdings: a strong plain gate over the farmhouse front door, galvanised for weather
