Security doors, gates and bars in Cape Town
Cape Town has an enormous variety of buildings: Victorian terraces in Woodstock and Salt River, face-brick suburban houses in Claremont and Bellville, flats along the Atlantic seaboard, townhouse estates and the informal and formal areas of the Cape Flats. Salt air and strong south-easterly winds corrode steel on the coast, so galvanised or powder-coated doors and bars with stainless fixings make sense, and heritage areas may restrict what can go on the front of a house. Industrial users in Montague Gardens, Epping and Paarden Eiland order heavy gates and steel doors. Fabricators work from these industrial areas and across the metro.
Typical security doors requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a security door at the front and kitchen doors, burglar bars on the windows and a gate on the patio slider
- Flats and apartments: one strong gate at the front door and bars on windows that face a walkway or balcony
- Townhouses and complexes: a trellis or slamlock gate in the colour the body corporate allows, and clear bars on ground-floor windows
- Shops and restaurants: folding gates over the shopfront, a steel back door and bars on the storeroom window
- Factories and warehouses: double steel doors, slamlock gates on stores and heavy bars on offices and ablutions
- Offices and practices: a neat gate at reception, a steel door for the server or cash room and clear bars on street windows
- Schools, clinics and churches: bulk doors, gates and bars for classrooms, clinics and halls, often to a tender specification
- Farms and smallholdings: heavy steel doors on the house and store rooms, and strong bars on windows far from the neighbours
