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 security doors requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a mesh-topped steel door on the back and side doors where a light gate would not last
- Townhouses and complexes: a steel door on a ground-floor patio entrance, in colours the body corporate allows
- Flats and apartments: a robust door on a ground-floor entrance or a stairwell landing
- Shops and restaurants: a solid or mesh steel door at the staff entrance and the storeroom
- Factories and warehouses: heavy plate-skinned doors for plant rooms, stores and loading bays
- Offices and practices: a steel door for the server room, archive or cash office
- Schools, clinics and churches: bulk steel doors for classrooms, stores and clinic pharmacies
