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 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
- Farms and smallholdings: heavy lock boxes on workshop and store room doors, with a master key for the farm manager
- 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
- Schools, clinics and churches: a master key plan for rooms and classrooms, with fire exits that open from inside
