Security doors, gates and bars in Johannesburg
Johannesburg is a mix of older face-brick houses with steel-framed windows, townhouse complexes, flats and busy shopping strips, so the security work varies a lot from suburb to suburb. Trellis doors and slamlock gates are common on houses in the northern and western suburbs, while clear bars suit newer aluminium windows where owners want to keep the view. Flats usually need body corporate approval before anything is fitted to a balcony or front door. Shops and workshops in the southern industrial areas favour heavy bars and steel doors. Highveld summer storms and hail make a good paint finish worthwhile, and fabricators are spread across the city.
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
