Security doors, gates and bars in Pietermaritzburg
Pietermaritzburg has many older face-brick homes with steel windows and wooden doors in Scottsville, Clarendon and Hayfields, together with townhouse complexes, student flats and schools. Wooden frames and old plaster call for longer fixings and careful drilling, and steel security doors suit the older entrances. The city sits in a warm hollow with humid summers and hard storms, so painted steel needs a zinc primer to resist rust. Farms and smallholdings around Hilton, Howick and the Midlands often fit heavier bars and steel doors on stores. Fabricators work from Willowton, Mkondeni and Pietermaritzburg's industrial zones, and also serve Edendale and Imbali.
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
- Townhouses and complexes: a gate on the patio door, often in black or white to meet the rules
- Flats and apartments: a slim slamlock gate on the front door with an inside release
- 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
- 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
Local tips for Pietermaritzburg
Most work in Pietermaritzburg comes from here: fabricators in Willowton, Mkondeni and Camps Drift. Commonly fitted: steel security doors for older homes, trellis doors, bars for schools and clinics. When you ask for quotes, ask how the frame is fixed on old houses, as soft plaster can crumble.
