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 sliding door security gates requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a track gate over the patio slider that slides open on summer evenings
- Flats and apartments: a light gate over a balcony slider that does not stick out of the building
- Townhouses and complexes: a gate in the approved colour that stays within the patio line
- Shops and restaurants: a sliding gate behind the glass on a rear delivery door
- Factories and warehouses: sliding gates on wide loading doors where hinged leaves are too heavy
- Offices and practices: a neat sliding gate over a boardroom or patio door that opens to a garden
- Schools, clinics and churches: sliding gates for hall and canteen doors, with inside release
- Farms and smallholdings: wide sliding gates over farmhouse stoep doors, fixed with chemical anchors
