Security doors, gates and bars in Johannesburg
Johannesburg is a mix of older face-brick houses with steel-framed windows, townhouse complexes, flats and busy shopping strips, so the security work varies a lot from suburb to suburb. Trellis doors and slamlock gates are common on houses in the northern and western suburbs, while clear bars suit newer aluminium windows where owners want to keep the view. Flats usually need body corporate approval before anything is fitted to a balcony or front door. Shops and workshops in the southern industrial areas favour heavy bars and steel doors. Highveld summer storms and hail make a good paint finish worthwhile, and fabricators are spread across the city.

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
