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 trellis doors requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a trellis door on the front and kitchen doors that folds clear for light and air
- Townhouses and complexes: a folding door across a patio opening, in a colour the complex approves
- Flats and apartments: a slim trellis gate at the front door that stacks away in a narrow passage
- Schools, clinics and churches: trellis doors for classroom and church entrances, with exit keys at hand
- Farms and smallholdings: a trellis door on the farmhouse veranda and the kitchen entrance
- Shops and restaurants: a lattice gate over a back door or a staff entrance
- Factories and warehouses: occasional use on office doors, with steel doors elsewhere
