Security doors, gates and bars in Durban
Durban's housing runs from face-brick houses in Berea, Morningside and Westville to townhouse complexes in Umhlanga and flats along the beachfront. Warm, humid, salt-laden air attacks bare steel quickly, so galvanised or well-painted trellis doors, slamlock gates and clear bars last noticeably longer than plain mild steel, and stainless or galvanised fixings keep rust streaks off the brickwork. Older homes often have steel-framed windows that need custom-made bars, while newer ones have aluminium frames suited to clear bars. Yards and factories in Prospecton, Jacobs and Pinetown call for heavy slamlock gates and double steel doors. Fabricators and installers work from the southern basin, Springfield and the North Coast.
Typical Xpanda-style security gates requests in the area come from:
- Houses: an expanding gate over a patio or back door that folds away in the day
- Townhouses and complexes: a light gate over the sliding door in a colour the complex allows
- Flats and apartments: a gate across the balcony door or front passage when swing room is tight
- Shops and restaurants: a wide pull-across gate over the shopfront that folds to the side
- Factories and warehouses: internal pull gates for tool stores, with a stronger gate outside
- Offices and practices: a light internal gate that closes off a corridor or storeroom after hours
- Schools, clinics and churches: inside gates for store rooms and offices, kept off escape routes
