Security doors, gates and bars in Durban
Durban's housing runs from face-brick houses in Berea, Morningside and Westville to townhouse complexes in Umhlanga and flats along the beachfront. Warm, humid, salt-laden air attacks bare steel quickly, so galvanised or well-painted trellis doors, slamlock gates and clear bars last noticeably longer than plain mild steel, and stainless or galvanised fixings keep rust streaks off the brickwork. Older homes often have steel-framed windows that need custom-made bars, while newer ones have aluminium frames suited to clear bars. Yards and factories in Prospecton, Jacobs and Pinetown call for heavy slamlock gates and double steel doors. Fabricators and installers work from the southern basin, Springfield and the North Coast.

Typical security door installation requests in the area come from:
- Houses: fitting a front and kitchen door and a set of window bars in one visit
- Townhouses and complexes: installation that follows the body corporate colour and fixing rules
- Flats and apartments: a neat fitting that does not damage common property
- Shops and restaurants: after-hours installation of a gate or door for a shopfront
- Factories and warehouses: heavy gate and door installation with anchors into concrete
- Offices and practices: fitting at reception or a store room, booked outside office hours
- Schools, clinics and churches: bulk installation across a school or clinic to a schedule
