Buying a Security Gate in Wynberg — What’s Included
We measure the actual reveal, build the gate to it, and fit it into masonry. One quoted price. In Wynberg the measure is the whole job — almost nothing here is a standard size.
What We See Most Often in Wynberg
Wynberg has the oldest and tightest housing stock we work in regularly. The Victorian and Edwardian cottages through Chelsea Village and the streets around Maynardville are frequently semi-detached or terraced, built with narrow original door apertures and often a stoep or step immediately outside the threshold. A stock gate will not go into these openings, and forcing one in with timber packing puts soft material exactly where the fixings need brick. We build to the measured reveal, which is the only approach that gives a fixing worth having.
Frontage is the second constraint. Many Wynberg cottages open more or less directly onto the pavement, with a metre or less between the front door and the public footway. An outward-swinging gate on those houses opens across a right of way, which is both a nuisance and, in some cases, not permitted. We hang these gates to open inward, or fit a trellis where even an inward swing has nowhere to go.
Then there is the conservation overlay. Parts of Wynberg Village sit within a heritage area, and while a security gate on a private entrance is generally uncontroversial, the appearance of anything street-facing is worth thinking about. Slimmer sections, simple vertical patterns and a colour matched to the existing joinery keep a gate looking like part of the house rather than something bolted on afterwards. It costs nothing extra to specify.
Being ten minutes up Main Road from our workshop, Wynberg also gets our shortest lead times — worth knowing if you are securing a property after a break-in rather than in advance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will a gate fit my Victorian cottage doorway?
Yes. Narrow and out-of-square original apertures are the norm around Chelsea Village, and we fabricate to the measured reveal rather than packing out a stock size.
My front door opens straight onto the pavement — can you still fit a gate?
Yes. We hang it to open inward, or fit a trellis where even an inward swing has nowhere to go.
I’m in a conservation area — will a gate be a problem?
A gate on a private entrance is generally uncontroversial, but appearance matters on street-facing elevations. Slimmer sections and a colour matched to your joinery keep it sympathetic.
