Security doors, gates and bars in Johannesburg
Johannesburg is a mix of older face-brick houses with steel-framed windows, townhouse complexes, flats and busy shopping strips, so the security work varies a lot from suburb to suburb. Trellis doors and slamlock gates are common on houses in the northern and western suburbs, while clear bars suit newer aluminium windows where owners want to keep the view. Flats usually need body corporate approval before anything is fitted to a balcony or front door. Shops and workshops in the southern industrial areas favour heavy bars and steel doors. Highveld summer storms and hail make a good paint finish worthwhile, and fabricators are spread across the city.

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
- Townhouses and complexes: a gate in the approved colour with slim bars that suits the facade
- Flats and apartments: a neat gate on the entrance door that fits a shared passage
- 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
