Buying a Security Door in Wynberg — What’s Included
Door, fitting into masonry, and warranty in one quoted price. We measure the actual aperture rather than working from a size list, because Wynberg’s original door openings are almost never a modern standard.
What We See Most Often on Wynberg Entrances
The single most common problem we solve in Wynberg is a doorway that is simply too narrow for anything sold as standard. Victorian and Edwardian cottages around Chelsea Village were built to different dimensions, and a stock security door will not go into the aperture. The usual workaround is to reduce the opening with timber packing, which both narrows an already tight entrance and puts soft material where the fixings need brick. We build to the measured reveal instead, which keeps the full width of the doorway usable and the fixings in masonry.
Space to swing is the second constraint. Terraced and semi-detached cottages here often have the front door opening onto a narrow stoep or straight onto the pavement, with a step immediately outside. An outward-opening security door on that frontage swings across a public footway. We hang these to open inward where the interior allows it, and where it does not, a trellis or sliding configuration is the honest answer rather than forcing a hinged door.
Rear and side entrances deserve a mention because they are frequently the real weakness. Many Wynberg cottages have a back door onto a small yard or shared service lane, out of sight of the street and often overlooked by nothing. That door is usually older and lighter than the front door and gets far less attention. On most Wynberg quotes it is the opening we would secure first.
Because we are only ten minutes away, Wynberg gets our shortest turnaround — which matters when a door has already been forced and the property needs securing quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions
My cottage doorway is too narrow for a standard door — what can you do?
Build to the measured reveal. That keeps the full width of an already tight doorway usable, rather than packing the opening down to fit a stock size.
My front door opens onto the pavement — can you fit a security door?
Yes, hung to open inward where the interior allows. Where it does not, a trellis or sliding configuration is the better answer than forcing a hinged door.
Which door should I secure first?
On most Wynberg cottages, the back door. It is usually lighter than the front door, opens onto a yard or service lane, and is overlooked by nobody.
Do you deliver and fit in Wynberg?
Yes — it is one of our closest areas and gets our shortest turnaround, which matters if a door has already been forced.
How much does it cost to buy a security door?
Cost depends on aperture size, configuration, 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.
