Security doors, gates and bars in Pietermaritzburg
Pietermaritzburg has many older face-brick homes with steel windows and wooden doors in Scottsville, Clarendon and Hayfields, together with townhouse complexes, student flats and schools. Wooden frames and old plaster call for longer fixings and careful drilling, and steel security doors suit the older entrances. The city sits in a warm hollow with humid summers and hard storms, so painted steel needs a zinc primer to resist rust. Farms and smallholdings around Hilton, Howick and the Midlands often fit heavier bars and steel doors on stores. Fabricators work from Willowton, Mkondeni and Pietermaritzburg's industrial zones, and also serve Edendale and Imbali.
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
- 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
- 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
Local tips for Pietermaritzburg
Common here: steel security doors for older homes, trellis doors, bars for schools and clinics. Ask each installer to allow for this: ask how the frame is fixed on old houses, as soft plaster can crumble. Work usually comes from here: fabricators in Willowton, Mkondeni and Camps Drift.
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: hot humid summers and old plaster: use long fixings into sound brick.
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
