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 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
- Flats and apartments: a light retractable gate across a balcony door where a hinged gate cannot swing
- Townhouses and complexes: a retractable door on the patio slider, in the colour the complex allows
- 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
- Schools, clinics and churches: a folding door for halls and clinic waiting rooms, with exit rules checked
- Farms and smallholdings: a wide door across the veranda or the farm kitchen entrance
- Offices and practices: a stack-away gate for a wide boardroom or reception door
Local tips for KwaZulu-Natal
Common here: galvanised bars and gates near the coast, clear bars and trellis doors in complexes. Ask each installer to allow for this: check your body corporate's rules, and ask for stainless or coated fixings. Work usually comes from here: fabricators in Pinetown, Springfield, Jacobs and Pietermaritzburg.
Retractable Security Doors are usually made in steel or aluminium channels with scissor arms, up to 3,600 x 2,400 mm per door, with key lock on the leading channel into a post and powder coat or anodised aluminium. Locally: salt air and humidity near the sea: ask for galvanised steel and sealed welds.
What to include in your request
- Full width and height of the opening in mm
- Free wall space beside the opening for the stack
- Steel or aluminium, and the colour you want
- Mounting: inside the reveal, on the face or on the ceiling
- Lock type and whether it must open without a key
