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 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

- 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
