Security doors, gates and bars in Johannesburg

Johannesburg is a mix of older face-brick houses with steel-framed windows, townhouse complexes, flats and busy shopping strips, so the security work varies a lot from suburb to suburb. Trellis doors and slamlock gates are common on houses in the northern and western suburbs, while clear bars suit newer aluminium windows where owners want to keep the view. Flats usually need body corporate approval before anything is fitted to a balcony or front door. Shops and workshops in the southern industrial areas favour heavy bars and steel doors. Highveld summer storms and hail make a good paint finish worthwhile, and fabricators are spread across the city.

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
