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.
Typical security gates requests in the area come from:
- Houses: hinged bar gates on the front, kitchen and patio doors, with a lock you can open from inside
- Flats and apartments: a single gate over the front door that fits the passage without blocking neighbours
- Townhouses and complexes: a gate in the approved colour over the patio or front door, fixed to the reveal
- Shops and restaurants: a lockable gate over the shopfront and a folding unit for the delivery door
- Factories and warehouses: wide, heavy gates on loading doors, stores and tool cribs
- Offices and practices: a tidy entrance gate for after hours and a stronger gate on a stock room
- Schools, clinics and churches: bulk gates for classrooms and clinics that must keep escape routes clear
- Farms and smallholdings: heavy gates over the farmhouse doors and the stores, built from thick tube
Local tips for Cape Town
Common here: powder-coated clear bars and security gates, steel doors and heavy gates in industry. Ask each installer to allow for this: check heritage overlay and body corporate rules before ordering new front gates.
