Security doors, gates and bars in Midrand

Midrand has grown quickly, so much of the housing is recent: townhouse complexes, security estates and flats, mostly with aluminium windows and sliding doors. That makes sliding security gates, clear bars and neat steel-framed security doors the common choices, usually in a colour agreed with the body corporate. Older areas such as Halfway House and Vorna Valley have face-brick houses with steel windows that take traditional trellis doors and burglar bars. Business parks and warehouses along the highway need steel doors, roller gates and heavy bars. Fabricators work from Midrand's industrial areas and nearby Kempton Park and Randburg, and installers often handle whole complexes in one visit.

Typical security door locks requests in the area come from:

• 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
• Houses: a cylinder lock box on the front gate and the same key on the kitchen and patio gates
• 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
• Shops and restaurants: a lock on the shopfront gate and a stronger bolt on the back door
• Schools, clinics and churches: a master key plan for rooms and classrooms, with fire exits that open from inside

Local tips for Midrand

Most work in Midrand comes from here: fabricators in Midrand industrial areas, with crews from Randburg and Kempton Park. Commonly fitted: sliding gates and clear bars in complexes, trellis doors in older Halfway House homes. When you ask for quotes, for a whole complex, ask for one price for matching doors across all units.

Security Door Locks are usually made in steel lock box, brass or nickel cylinder, fits stiles from 25 to 50 mm wide, with slamlock, cylinder, 3-lever or multi-point and plated, powder coated or stainless steel. Locally: aluminium frames in newer homes: ask for fixings that suit thin sections.

What to include in your request

• Type of lock now fitted, and a photo of its face and edge
• Number of gates and doors to be keyed alike
• Whether the key turns stiffly or the bolt misses the keep
• Whether you need a key that cannot be copied freely
• Distance from the nearest town and coastal exposure
