Buying a Security Gate in Constantia — What’s Included
We measure every opening you want covered, fabricate each gate to those dimensions, and fit it. One quoted price covering gate, fitting and warranty. On Constantia properties that usually means quoting several openings at once rather than a single front door.
What We See Most Often in Constantia
Constantia properties are defined by distance. The boundary wall is typically a long way from the house, the driveway runs for tens of metres, and the front door is often not visible from the road at all. That changes the security logic: a perimeter that looks impressive from the street does very little once someone is inside it, and the house openings become the line that actually matters. Most of our Constantia work is on the house itself and its immediate outbuildings, not the boundary.
Appearance carries real weight here, more than anywhere else we work. Constantia frontages are heavy on timber, stone, whitewashed render and mature oaks, and a bare galvanised gate reads as an industrial object bolted onto a period house. We powder-coat to a colour matched against the existing joinery or ironwork, and on heritage-sensitive frontages we favour slimmer sections and simpler patterns that read as part of the building rather than an addition to it.
The third pattern is multiple structures. A great many Constantia properties have a cottage, staff accommodation, a pool house or a converted stable, each with its own entrance. These are frequently secured to a lower standard than the main house despite often being the easier approach, and they are the openings we most often find unprotected on a first visit.
Because the driveway is long, we quote for access and fitting logistics up front — there is rarely a parking or access problem, but material handling on a fifty-metre driveway is worth planning rather than improvising.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will a security gate look wrong on a period Constantia frontage?
It does if it is a stock galvanised gate. We use slimmer sections, simpler patterns and a colour matched to your existing joinery, so it reads as part of the building.
Should I secure the boundary or the house?
On most Constantia properties the house and its outbuildings are the line that matters. A long perimeter is difficult to hold, and once inside it an intruder is out of sight of the road entirely.
Can you quote for the cottage and outbuildings too?
Yes, and we recommend it. Cottages, staff accommodation and pool houses are usually the least protected structures on the property.
How much does a security gate cost to buy?
Cost depends on opening size, profile, finish and locking. Call 021 712 0484 for a free quote.
Is fitting included when I buy?
Yes, including access and handling on longer driveways.
Do you provide a warranty?
Yes, covering structure, coating, and locking mechanism.
