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 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
- 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
- Shops and restaurants: bars on side and rear windows and on storeroom openings
- Factories and warehouses: heavy frames over office, canteen and stores windows
Local tips for Pietermaritzburg
Most work in Pietermaritzburg comes from here: fabricators in Willowton, Mkondeni and Camps Drift. Commonly fitted: steel security doors for older homes, trellis doors, bars for schools and clinics. When you ask for quotes, ask how the frame is fixed on old houses, as soft plaster can crumble.
