Security doors, gates and bars in Gauteng
Gauteng mixes older face-brick houses in suburbs like Boksburg, Brakpan and Pretoria East with newer townhouse complexes in Midrand, Centurion and Fourways, and a large stock of flats and RDP and township homes. Older houses often have steel windows that take welded burglar bars, while newer builds use aluminium frames that suit clear bars or bars fixed into the reveal. Trellis doors and slamlock gates are the usual choice on front and kitchen doors, and complexes may set colour and style rules. Summer thunderstorms and dry winters are hard on poor paint. Fabricators work from industrial areas such as Germiston, Wadeville, Alrode and Pretoria West.

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
- Farms and smallholdings: stout galvanised bars on old steel windows of farmhouses and stores
