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 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
- Factories and warehouses: heavy frames over office, canteen and stores windows
- Shops and restaurants: bars on side and rear windows and on storeroom openings
- Farms and smallholdings: stout galvanised bars on old steel windows of farmhouses and stores
- Schools, clinics and churches: bars on ground-floor windows with release panels to meet escape rules
- Flats and apartments: bars on ground-floor and balcony windows, with an escape window in each bedroom
Local tips for Richards Bay
Common here: galvanised doors and gates for the coast, heavy gates and steel doors in industry. Ask each installer to allow for this: ask whether the galvanising covers the whole door or only the frame. Work usually comes from here: fabricators in Richards Bay and Empangeni.
Window Burglar Bars are usually made in steel tube frame with 12 or 16 mm solid bars, most windows 600 to 1,800 mm wide, with fixed, or hinged with an inside latch or lock and powder coat over galvanised steel. Locally: salt air and lagoon humidity: galvanised steel and stainless fixings last.
What to include in your request
- Width and height of every window in mm
- Which windows open outwards and which way
