Security doors, gates and bars in Gauteng

Gauteng mixes older face-brick houses in suburbs like Boksburg, Brakpan and Pretoria East with newer townhouse complexes in Midrand, Centurion and Fourways, and a large stock of flats and RDP and township homes. Older houses often have steel windows that take welded burglar bars, while newer builds use aluminium frames that suit clear bars or bars fixed into the reveal. Trellis doors and slamlock gates are the usual choice on front and kitchen doors, and complexes may set colour and style rules. Summer thunderstorms and dry winters are hard on poor paint. Fabricators work from industrial areas such as Germiston, Wadeville, Alrode and Pretoria West.

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
• Factories and warehouses: heavy lock cases on yard gates and store rooms, with a restricted key system
• Offices and practices: master key systems so staff open only the doors they need
• Schools, clinics and churches: a master key plan for rooms and classrooms, with fire exits that open from inside
• Farms and smallholdings: heavy lock boxes on workshop and store room doors, with a master key for the farm manager
