Buying a Security Door in Constantia — What’s Included
The door, the fitting into masonry, and the warranty in one quoted price. We measure each entrance individually, and on most Constantia properties that means several entrances rather than one.
What We See Most Often on Constantia Entrances
Constantia front doors are frequently the least practical place to put a standard security door. Many are wide, many are timber, and a good number are original or replica joinery that the owner has no intention of covering with a steel screen. Where that is the case we will often recommend securing the secondary entrances properly and treating the front door differently — a slimline gate in a matched colour, or a trellis that retracts out of sight when the house is occupied.
Secondary entrances are where the real work is. Kitchen doors, scullery doors, garden doors and the entrances to cottages and staff accommodation are the openings that get used by an intruder, precisely because they are out of sight of the road and often screened by planting. These are almost always the doors we end up fitting on a Constantia property, and they are almost always the ones that were unprotected when we arrived.
Slam lock mechanisms matter more here than in dense suburbs. On a property where the house sits fifty metres from the boundary, a kitchen door left pulled to but unlocked while someone carries shopping in is a genuine window of exposure, and nobody in the house is close enough to notice. A slam lock closes that gap without anyone having to remember anything.
Finish matters throughout. Bare galvanised looks wrong against whitewash, stone and timber, so colour matching to the existing joinery is part of the quote rather than an extra line.

Frequently Asked Questions
I don’t want to cover my original front door — what are my options?
A slimline gate in a matched colour, or a trellis that retracts out of sight when you are home. We would rather secure the secondary entrances properly than put a steel screen over joinery you value.
Which entrances actually need securing?
On Constantia properties, usually the kitchen, scullery and garden doors, plus cottage and staff entrances. They are screened by planting and out of sight of the road, which is exactly why they get used.
Can you fit wider or double-door security doors?
Yes, built to the measured aperture with hinges specified for the leaf weight.
Is a slam lock worth it here?
On a property where the house sits well back from the boundary, yes. It removes the period where a door is closed but not locked and nobody is near enough to notice.
How much does it cost to buy a security door?
Cost depends on size, configuration, finish and locking. Call 021 712 0484 for a free quote.
Do you offer a warranty when I buy?
Yes, covering structure, coating, and locking mechanism.
