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 sliding door security gates requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a track gate over the patio slider that slides open on summer evenings
- Townhouses and complexes: a gate in the approved colour that stays within the patio line
- Flats and apartments: a light gate over a balcony slider that does not stick out of the building
- 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
- 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
Local tips for Pietermaritzburg
Common here: steel security doors for older homes, trellis doors, bars for schools and clinics. Ask each installer to allow for this: ask how the frame is fixed on old houses, as soft plaster can crumble. Work usually comes from here: fabricators in Willowton, Mkondeni and Camps Drift.
Sliding Door Security Gates are usually made in steel tube frame, vertical bars, steel track, panels up to 3,000 x 2,400 mm, with hook or bolt lock with a key deadbolt and powder coat, colour-matched to the frame. Locally: hot humid summers and old plaster: use long fixings into sound brick.
What to include in your request
