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 retractable security doors requests in the area come from:

• Houses: a stack-away gate across a patio or sliding door that opens fully in the day
• Townhouses and complexes: a retractable door on the patio slider, in the colour the complex allows
• Flats and apartments: a light retractable gate across a balcony door where a hinged gate cannot swing
• Shops and restaurants: a pull-across gate over a back or side opening
• Factories and warehouses: a light barrier for canteens and offices, with steel gates on the yard
• Offices and practices: a stack-away gate for a wide boardroom or reception door
• Schools, clinics and churches: a folding door for halls and clinic waiting rooms, with exit rules checked

Locally: summer hail and storms: ask for a powder-coat or primed and painted finish.
