Security doors, gates and bars in Richards Bay
Richards Bay is a port and industrial town where salt air, high humidity and heat shorten the life of ordinary steel. Houses in Meerensee, Arboretum and Birdswood, townhouse complexes and guesthouses near the lagoon all benefit from galvanised trellis doors, slamlock gates and clear bars with stainless fixings. Older homes in Empangeni and eNseleni often have steel windows that rust from the inside, while newer RDP and township houses in Esikhaleni usually have simple steel frames and need standard-size bars. Industrial users in the harbour area order heavy gates, strong doors and fences in bulk. Fabricators work from Richards Bay and Empangeni.

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
- Factories and warehouses: double steel doors, slamlock gates on stores and heavy bars on offices and ablutions
- Shops and restaurants: folding gates over the shopfront, a steel back door and bars on the storeroom window
- Farms and smallholdings: heavy steel doors on the house and store rooms, and strong bars on windows far from the neighbours
- Schools, clinics and churches: bulk doors, gates and bars for classrooms, clinics and halls, often to a tender specification
- Flats and apartments: one strong gate at the front door and bars on windows that face a walkway or balcony
