Buying a Security Gate in Claremont — What’s Included
Front entrances in Claremont range from narrow Edwardian doorways to wider apartment-block access points near Cavendish Square, so a generic gate size rarely fits well. When you buy a security gate from Xpressdor, we measure your specific opening and fabricate the gate to match, in your choice of steel or aluminium, swing or sliding configuration.
The quoted price covers the gate, professional fitting into solid masonry, and a warranty. Installation isn’t a separate line item — it’s part of what you’re buying.
What We See Most Often in Claremont
Claremont is really two housing stocks sharing one postcode, and they need different gates. The Victorian and Edwardian semis through Harfield Village and the streets off Imam Haron Road have original door frames that are narrower than anything sold as a standard size, and often a recessed porch or a step immediately behind the threshold. A stock gate either does not fit the aperture or cannot swing clear of the step. We measure the reveal and build to it, which avoids the common bodge of packing out a too-small gate with timber and losing the fixing strength into masonry.
The other half of Claremont is flats. Ground-floor units around Cavendish, Kenilworth Road and the Newlands side are the ones that get targeted, and their entrances usually open onto a shared passage or courtyard where a swing gate would foul a neighbour’s door or block a fire route. Sliding gates solve this, and where the body corporate has rules about street-facing appearance, we match the finish to what is already on the building rather than fitting whatever is in stock.
Claremont also has a high proportion of tenanted properties, and we are often dealing with a landlord or managing agent rather than the occupant. We are happy to quote off measurements taken at a single access visit and to liaise on scheduling, which saves the tenant taking a second day off.
Your Options When You Buy
- Swing security gates — hinged gates for standard entrances.
- Sliding security gates — space-saving for tighter apartment entrances and shared passages.
- Slam lock gates — auto-locking the instant the gate closes.
- Narrow-aperture gates — built to the measured reveal on original Victorian and Edwardian frames.
- Steel or aluminium — steel for maximum resistance, aluminium for lighter, corrosion-resistant upper-floor installations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I buy a security gate without installation?
Fitting is included in every quote — a gate that isn’t correctly mounted is a security gap regardless of build quality.
Will a gate fit my original Victorian door frame?
Yes. Narrow and irregular original apertures are routine in Harfield Village and the older Claremont streets, and we fabricate to the measured reveal rather than trimming a stock size.
How much does a security gate cost to buy?
Cost depends on opening size, material, and locking mechanism. Call 021 712 0484 for a free quote.
Steel or aluminium — which should I buy?
Steel offers maximum forced-entry resistance; aluminium is lighter and naturally corrosion-resistant. We’ll recommend the right fit during your assessment.
Do you fit gates on apartment entrances?
Yes, we regularly quote and fit gates for both freestanding homes and apartment entrances in Claremont, including sliding gates where a swing gate would block a shared passage.
Is a warranty included?
Yes, covering structure, coating, and locking mechanism.
