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 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
- 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
- Offices and practices: a refined gate on the practice entrance or reception door
