Security doors, gates and bars in Richards Bay
Richards Bay is a port and industrial town where salt air, high humidity and heat shorten the life of ordinary steel. Houses in Meerensee, Arboretum and Birdswood, townhouse complexes and guesthouses near the lagoon all benefit from galvanised trellis doors, slamlock gates and clear bars with stainless fixings. Older homes in Empangeni and eNseleni often have steel windows that rust from the inside, while newer RDP and township houses in Esikhaleni usually have simple steel frames and need standard-size bars. Industrial users in the harbour area order heavy gates, strong doors and fences in bulk. Fabricators work from Richards Bay and Empangeni.
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
- Factories and warehouses: occasional use on office doors, with steel doors elsewhere
- Shops and restaurants: a lattice gate over a back door or a staff entrance
- Farms and smallholdings: a trellis door on the farmhouse veranda and the kitchen entrance
- Schools, clinics and churches: trellis doors for classroom and church entrances, with exit keys at hand
- Flats and apartments: a slim trellis gate at the front door that stacks away in a narrow passage
Local tips for Richards Bay
In Richards Bay, what people fit most is this: galvanised doors and gates for the coast, heavy gates and steel doors in industry. Makers and installers: fabricators in Richards Bay and Empangeni. A useful tip: ask whether the galvanising covers the whole door or only the frame.
Trellis Doors are usually made in steel strip lattice on a tube frame, single leaf up to 1,200 x 2,200 mm, with cylinder lock in the stile or padlock hasp and powder coat, black or white most common. Locally: salt air and lagoon humidity: galvanised steel and stainless fixings last.

- Opening width and height in mm, measured at three points
- Single leaf or two leaves meeting in the middle
