Security doors, gates and bars in KwaZulu-Natal
KwaZulu-Natal spans Durban's coastal suburbs and beachfront flats, Umhlanga and Ballito estates, Pietermaritzburg's older houses, inland towns like Newcastle, and large township and rural areas. Salt air and humidity along the coast corrode ordinary steel quickly, so galvanising and a good paint system matter far more than the small extra cost. Houses often have steel or aluminium windows, and many flats and complexes have body corporate rules on gate and bar styles. Trellis doors, slamlock gates and clear bars are all common. Fabricators and installers work from areas such as Pinetown, Springfield, Jacobs and Pietermaritzburg, and travel to the North and South Coasts.
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
- Flats and apartments: a robust door on a ground-floor entrance or a stairwell landing
- Townhouses and complexes: a steel door on a ground-floor patio entrance, in colours the body corporate allows
- 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
- Schools, clinics and churches: bulk steel doors for classrooms, stores and clinic pharmacies
- Farms and smallholdings: heavy steel doors on the farmhouse, workshop, feed store and chemical room
- Offices and practices: a steel door for the server room, archive or cash office
Local tips for KwaZulu-Natal
Common here: galvanised bars and gates near the coast, clear bars and trellis doors in complexes. Ask each installer to allow for this: check your body corporate's rules, and ask for stainless or coated fixings. Work usually comes from here: fabricators in Pinetown, Springfield, Jacobs and Pietermaritzburg.
Steel Security Doors are usually made in 40 x 40 mm tube frame, 2 mm kick panel, mesh, up to 1,200 x 2,400 mm per leaf, with deadbolt or multi-point lock, keyed both sides and galvanised, then powder coat. Locally: salt air and humidity near the sea: ask for galvanised steel and sealed welds.
What to include in your request
- Width and height of the opening in mm, smallest of three readings
- Infill: bars, expanded mesh or fully solid
- Frame tube size and plate thickness if you know them
- Lock type, and whether it must open without a key from inside
- Wall type, colour and distance from the sea
The more detail you give, the more accurate your quote will be.
