Security doors, gates and bars in Bellville
Bellville is a northern suburbs hub with older face-brick houses in Panorama, Boston and Welgemoed, many townhouse complexes, student flats near the university and a busy commercial centre. Offices and shops around Voortrekker Road and Tygervalley order reception gates, folding shopfront gates and steel back doors. Winter rain and the south-easter blow in from the coast but the air is less salty than at the beach, so a good primer and paint finish usually lasts well, though galvanised steel is safer. Industrial areas in Stikland and Bellville South order heavy slamlock gates and double steel doors, and fabricators there also serve Durbanville, Parow and Kuils River.
Typical security door locks requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a cylinder lock box on the front gate and the same key on the kitchen and patio gates
- Townhouses and complexes: keyed alike cylinders for front and patio gates, kept within the complex rules
- Flats and apartments: a neat lock box on the entrance gate with a thumb-turn inside for quick exit
- Shops and restaurants: a lock on the shopfront gate and a stronger bolt on the back door
- Offices and practices: master key systems so staff open only the doors they need
- Factories and warehouses: heavy lock cases on yard gates and store rooms, with a restricted key system
- Schools, clinics and churches: a master key plan for rooms and classrooms, with fire exits that open from inside
