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 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
- 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
- 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
Local tips for Pietermaritzburg
Common here: steel security doors for older homes, trellis doors, bars for schools and clinics. Ask each installer to allow for this: ask how the frame is fixed on old houses, as soft plaster can crumble. Work usually comes from here: fabricators in Willowton, Mkondeni and Camps Drift.
Front Door Security Gates are usually made in steel tube frame, slim bars or lattice panel, single doors 813 to 1,000 x 2,100 mm, with lock box with a deadbolt, keyed both sides and matt powder coat over galvanised steel. Locally: hot humid summers and old plaster: use long fixings into sound brick.
