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 steel doors and frames requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a solid steel door on the garage, laundry or a granny flat entrance
- Townhouses and complexes: a steel door to a garage or a bin store, painted to suit the complex
- Flats and apartments: a steel door for a meter room, a storeroom or a refuse area
- 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
