Buying a Security Door in Tokai — What’s Included
Tokai’s large freestanding homes, many backing onto Tokai Forest or the lower slopes of the Constantiaberg, tend to have wider entrances and multiple access points — front door, side gate, garden entrance — than the average Cape Town property. When you buy a security door from Xpressdor, we measure every opening individually and fabricate to those exact dimensions, rather than selling a standard size that gets trimmed to fit.
The price covers the door, fitting, and warranty. A security door that isn’t correctly mounted into solid masonry isn’t doing its job, so fitting is part of the product rather than an add-on.
What We See Most Often on Tokai Entrances
The recurring issue in Tokai is entrance width. Homes built here from the 1970s onward were designed with generous front elevations, and double or extra-wide single entrances are common — particularly on properties along the forest side and through Dennendal. A standard 813mm door leaf simply does not address that opening, and the usual workaround of fitting a narrow door into a wide frame with infill panels creates a weak point exactly where the frame meets the packing.
We build double-leaf and wide-single configurations to the measured aperture instead. The hinge specification changes with the leaf weight, which is why an accurate measure matters more here than in suburbs with uniform door sizes.
The second factor is that many Tokai entrances are set back under a deep porch or overhang, out of direct sight of the street. That is comfortable for the homeowner and equally comfortable for anyone working on the lock, so we tend to recommend slam lock mechanisms on these entrances. A slam lock engages the moment the door closes, which removes the window of time where a door is pulled to but not actually locked.
Finally, aesthetics carry weight in Tokai. The semi-rural feel of the area means a bare galvanised door looks wrong against timber, face brick and garden frontages, so powder-coat colour matching is part of the quote rather than an extra.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you deliver and fit in Tokai?
Yes, Tokai is part of our core service area and roughly ten minutes from the workshop.
Can you fit wider or double-door security doors?
Yes, and in Tokai it is the more common requirement. We build double-leaf and wide-single doors to the measured aperture with hinges specified for the leaf weight.
Is a slam lock worth it on a recessed entrance?
Generally yes. Entrances set back under a porch are out of sight from the street, and a slam lock removes the period where the door is closed but not yet locked.
How much does a security door cost to buy?
Cost depends on size, configuration, and locking mechanism. Call 021 712 0484 for a free quote.
Is a warranty included when I buy?
Yes, covering structure, coating, and locking mechanism.
Can I buy more than one door at a time for multiple entrances?
Yes, and it is usually cheaper per door than separate visits.
