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 slamlock security gates requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a slamlock gate on the kitchen and back doors so it latches when your hands are full
- Flats and apartments: a slim slamlock gate on the front door with an inside release
- Townhouses and complexes: a gate on the patio door, often in black or white to meet the rules
- Shops and restaurants: a latching gate on the staff entrance and delivery door
- Factories and warehouses: heavy slamlock gates on stores and compounds, built from thick tube
- Offices and practices: a gate on the server room or archive, using restricted keys
- Schools, clinics and churches: slamlock gates on stores, with inside release to meet escape rules
- Farms and smallholdings: strong keyed-alike gates for the house, dairy and tool rooms
