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 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
- Farms and smallholdings: heavy steel doors on the house and store rooms, and strong bars on windows far from the neighbours
- 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
Local tips for Western Cape
Common here: clear bars and slim designs in estates, galvanised gates and doors near the coast. Ask each installer to allow for this: check heritage and estate rules before choosing a design. Work usually comes from here: fabricators in Parow, Epping, Montague Gardens and Paarl.
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: salt air, wind and winter rain: ask for galvanised steel and coastal-grade paint.
What to include in your request
- Width and height of each opening in mm, smallest of three measurements
- Style: hinged steel, trellis, slamlock or sliding
- Inside the reveal or fixed to the face of the wall
- Colour and finish, and whether you are near the sea
- Wall type and whether an old gate must be removed
