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.
