Security doors, gates and bars in Durban
Durban's housing runs from face-brick houses in Berea, Morningside and Westville to townhouse complexes in Umhlanga and flats along the beachfront. Warm, humid, salt-laden air attacks bare steel quickly, so galvanised or well-painted trellis doors, slamlock gates and clear bars last noticeably longer than plain mild steel, and stainless or galvanised fixings keep rust streaks off the brickwork. Older homes often have steel-framed windows that need custom-made bars, while newer ones have aluminium frames suited to clear bars. Yards and factories in Prospecton, Jacobs and Pinetown call for heavy slamlock gates and double steel doors. Fabricators and installers work from the southern basin, Springfield and the North Coast.
Typical window burglar bars requests in the area come from:
- Houses: bars on every window, with a hinged or quick-release panel in each bedroom
- Townhouses and complexes: slim bars in the complex colour, kept inside the reveal where rules allow
- Flats and apartments: bars on ground-floor and balcony windows, with an escape window in each bedroom
- Shops and restaurants: bars on side and rear windows and on storeroom openings
- Factories and warehouses: heavy frames over office, canteen and stores windows
- Offices and practices: window bars fitted in a neat style for ground-floor offices and archive rooms
- Schools, clinics and churches: bars on ground-floor windows with release panels to meet escape rules
