Security doors, gates and bars in Western Cape
The Western Cape includes Cape Town's mix of Victorian terraces, flats, townhouse complexes and suburban houses, the winelands around Stellenbosch and Paarl, the Garden Route towns of George and Knysna, and Hermanus and Worcester. Heritage areas and estates can restrict what you fit on a facade, so clear bars and discreet designs are popular. Strong coastal wind, salt air and winter rain corrode ordinary steel, so galvanised or stainless parts and a good paint system last far longer. Many homes have timber, steel or aluminium windows, each needing different fixing. Fabricators work from areas such as Parow, Epping, Montague Gardens and Paarl.
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
- Farms and smallholdings: heavy lock boxes on workshop and store room doors, with a master key for the farm manager
- 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
