Security doors, gates and bars in Pretoria

Pretoria has a large stock of older brick houses in suburbs such as Waterkloof, Brooklyn and Arcadia, many with steel window frames and wooden front doors that take a trellis door or a slamlock gate well. Newer townhouse complexes and flats use aluminium windows, where clear bars or bars fixed inside the frame are popular. Smallholdings and farms to the east and north often need longer gates and fenced-in yards, and shops along the main routes use heavy bars and steel doors. Fabricators work from industrial areas such as Silverton, Waltloo and Pretoria West and cover most of Tshwane. Hot, dry summers and afternoon storms are tough on poor paint.

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
• Farms and smallholdings: a wide door across the veranda or the farm kitchen entrance
• 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

Local tips for Pretoria

Common here: slamlock and trellis doors on houses, clear bars in complexes, gates on smallholdings. Ask each installer to allow for this: older steel window frames: ask how the bars will be fixed to the frame. Work usually comes from here: fabricators in Silverton, Waltloo and Pretoria West.

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: hot sun and afternoon storms: a good powder coat lasts longer than plain paint.

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

The more detail you give, the more accurate your quote will be.
