Security doors, gates and bars in Pretoria
Pretoria has a large stock of older brick houses in suburbs such as Waterkloof, Brooklyn and Arcadia, many with steel window frames and wooden front doors that take a trellis door or a slamlock gate well. Newer townhouse complexes and flats use aluminium windows, where clear bars or bars fixed inside the frame are popular. Smallholdings and farms to the east and north often need longer gates and fenced-in yards, and shops along the main routes use heavy bars and steel doors. Fabricators work from industrial areas such as Silverton, Waltloo and Pretoria West and cover most of Tshwane. Hot, dry summers and afternoon storms are tough on poor paint.
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
- Farms and smallholdings: heavy gates over the farmhouse doors and the stores, built from thick tube
- 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
- Schools, clinics and churches: bulk gates for classrooms and clinics that must keep escape routes clear
Local tips for Pretoria
Most work in Pretoria comes from here: fabricators in Silverton, Waltloo and Pretoria West. Commonly fitted: slamlock and trellis doors on houses, clear bars in complexes, gates on smallholdings. When you ask for quotes, older steel window frames: ask how the bars will be fixed to the frame.
Security Gates are usually made in mild steel tube, 12 to 16 mm round bars, single gates up to 1,000 x 2,200 mm, with slam lock, deadlock or cylinder lock and powder coat over galvanised or primed steel. Locally: hot sun and afternoon storms: a good powder coat lasts longer than plain paint.
What to include in your request
- Width and height of each opening in mm, smallest of three measurements
- Gate type: hinged, folding, expanding or sliding
- Which way it must open and which side it hinges
- Lock type and how many keys you need
- Wall material and whether an old gate must come out
The more detail you give, the more accurate your quote will be.
