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 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
• Farms and smallholdings: heavy steel doors on the house and store rooms, and strong bars on windows far from the neighbours
• 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
• Schools, clinics and churches: bulk doors, gates and bars for classrooms, clinics and halls, often to a tender specification

Local tips for Pretoria

In Pretoria, what people fit most is this: slamlock and trellis doors on houses, clear bars in complexes, gates on smallholdings. Makers and installers: fabricators in Silverton, Waltloo and Pretoria West. A useful tip: older steel window frames: ask how the bars will be fixed to the frame.

Security Doors are usually made in mild steel tube, 16 mm bars, steel kick panel, most doors 813 to 1,000 mm x 2,100 mm, with lock box with a 3-lever or cylinder lock and powder coat, galvanised underneath on the coast. Locally: hot sun and afternoon storms: a good powder coat lasts longer than plain paint.
