Security doors, gates and bars in Durban
Durban's housing runs from face-brick houses in Berea, Morningside and Westville to townhouse complexes in Umhlanga and flats along the beachfront. Warm, humid, salt-laden air attacks bare steel quickly, so galvanised or well-painted trellis doors, slamlock gates and clear bars last noticeably longer than plain mild steel, and stainless or galvanised fixings keep rust streaks off the brickwork. Older homes often have steel-framed windows that need custom-made bars, while newer ones have aluminium frames suited to clear bars. Yards and factories in Prospecton, Jacobs and Pinetown call for heavy slamlock gates and double steel doors. Fabricators and installers work from the southern basin, Springfield and the North Coast.
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
- Townhouses and complexes: a gate in the approved colour over the patio or front door, fixed to the reveal
- Flats and apartments: a single gate over the front door that fits the passage without blocking neighbours
- 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
