Security Gates in Cape Town
Trusted by Cape Town homeowners and businesses for over 15 years. Custom-fabricated security gates, built in our own workshop and finished for Cape Town’s coastal climate.

Built for Front Doors, Entrances and Access Points
A security gate protects your main entry point without sealing it off — letting light and air through while stopping forced entry. Xpressdor fabricates every security gate in-house, to the exact measurements of your doorway or access point, in steel or aluminium, with your choice of swing, sliding or hinged configuration.
Whether it’s a front-door gate for a Southern Suburbs home or a commercial access gate, we build to the same standard: heavy-gauge material, precision welding and a locking system that actually holds.
Cape Town’s coastal air is hard on unprotected steel. Every gate we install is finished in our multi-layer, coastal-grade powder coating system, formulated to resist the salt corrosion, UV exposure and winter rain that break down standard finishes within a few years.
Common Security Gate Problems in Cape Town
Rust and Corrosion from Coastal Salt Air
Gates near the coast in suburbs like Muizenberg and Steenberg corrode fast without proper coating. We replace compromised gates with steel or aluminium finished in salt-resistant powder coat.
Outdated Locking Mechanisms
Many older security gates still use a basic padlock hasp — easily defeated with a bolt cutter. We fit slam lock auto-locking mechanisms and multi-point deadbolts that meet current insurance standards.
Poor Mounting and Frame Integrity
A gate is only as strong as what it’s bolted into. We use heavy-duty masonry anchors set into solid brickwork, not plaster, and inspect every weld for structural integrity.
Gates That Don’t Match the Entrance
An ill-fitting gate is both a security gap and an eyesore. Every gate we build is custom-measured to your specific opening, not adapted from a standard size.
