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 steel doors and frames requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a solid steel door on the garage, laundry or a granny flat entrance
- Flats and apartments: a steel door for a meter room, a storeroom or a refuse area
- Townhouses and complexes: a steel door to a garage or a bin store, painted to suit the complex
- Shops and restaurants: a solid steel staff door and storeroom door
- Factories and warehouses: double steel doors on plant rooms, stores, boiler rooms and workshops
- Offices and practices: a steel door for server, archive and plant rooms
- Schools, clinics and churches: fire-rated and plain steel doors for plant rooms, stores and kitchens
- Farms and smallholdings: steel doors on workshops, chemical stores, feed rooms and pump houses
