Security doors, gates and bars in Stellenbosch
Stellenbosch is a university and wine town where historic Cape Dutch houses sit beside student flats, townhouse estates, wine farms and the township of Kayamandi. Heritage areas around Dorp Street restrict what can be fitted to the front, so clear bars and simple dark trellis doors are usual. Student blocks near the university buy bars and security gates in bulk, and estates often have strict colour and design rules. Thick old walls need masonry drills and long fixings. Hot dry summers and wet winters are fairly gentle on galvanised steel. Fabricators work from Stellenbosch Industria and Somerset West and also serve Jamestown and Franschhoek.

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
- Flats and apartments: bars on ground-floor and balcony windows, with an escape window in each bedroom
- Townhouses and complexes: slim bars in the complex colour, kept inside the reveal where rules allow
- 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
- Schools, clinics and churches: bars on ground-floor windows with release panels to meet escape rules
- Offices and practices: window bars fitted in a neat style for ground-floor offices and archive rooms
