Security doors, gates and bars in Johannesburg

Johannesburg is a mix of older face-brick houses with steel-framed windows, townhouse complexes, flats and busy shopping strips, so the security work varies a lot from suburb to suburb. Trellis doors and slamlock gates are common on houses in the northern and western suburbs, while clear bars suit newer aluminium windows where owners want to keep the view. Flats usually need body corporate approval before anything is fitted to a balcony or front door. Shops and workshops in the southern industrial areas favour heavy bars and steel doors. Highveld summer storms and hail make a good paint finish worthwhile, and fabricators are spread across the city.

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
• Townhouses and complexes: a trellis or slamlock gate in the colour the body corporate allows, and clear bars on ground-floor windows
• Flats and apartments: one strong gate at the front door and bars on windows that face a walkway or balcony
• 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
