Gates, steelwork and security in Roodepoort

We cover Roodepoort from Florida, Discovery and Horison in the south to Constantia Kloof, Weltevredenpark and Roodekrans on the ridges, and west along Hendrik Potgieter Road to Wilgeheuwel, Ruimsig and Little Falls. This includes Helderkruin, Strubensvalley, Radiokop, Allen's Nek, Honeydew Ridge, Wilro Park and the suburbs in between. Our teams leave from our workshop in Kya Sands, east of Roodepoort past Honeydew. We work on freestanding homes, townhouse complexes, shops and businesses across the area. Not sure whether your street falls in Roodepoort or Krugersdorp? Send us your suburb on WhatsApp or through the form on this page, and we'll confirm. We also work in Randburg, Krugersdorp and across the West Rand, and our areas page lists everywhere else we go.

It depends on which way the ground slopes. If your driveway rises steeply from the street, a swing gate opening inwards meets the slope and scrapes the paving, so a sliding gate is usually the better choice. If the street runs downhill along your wall, a sliding gate needs a level track, which can mean extra groundwork before the gate goes in. A swing gate can work there, as long as the driveway behind it is flat enough to open into. A heavy gate on a climb also needs a stronger motor than the same gate on level ground. On the site visit, we measure the fall of the driveway and the line of the wall, then tell you plainly which gate suits your entrance. You get a written quotation before any steel is cut.

Yes. We make burglar bars and security gates in our own workshop in Kya Sands, and every one is measured on site for the window or door it fits. Many older homes in Florida, Discovery and Horison have steel window frames, and some already carry bars added over the years in different styles. On the site visit, a consultant looks at the frames, the walls around them and any bars you already have. Then we tell you plainly what can stay, what should come off and how the new bars will be fixed. If you want a bedroom window to stay a way out in a fire, we can make the bars on it with a hinged or removable section. Every job comes with a written quotation, so you see the price before anything is made.

Send the make and model of your gate motor if you know it, or a photo of the motor with its cover on. Then tell us what the gate is doing: running slowly, stopping halfway, reversing or doing nothing at all. A short video of the gate trying to open helps, and so does a photo of the driveway if it's steep. For burglar bars or a new gate, photos of the windows or the entrance give the consultant a head start before the site visit. Roodepoort is further from our Kya Sands workshop than most of Randburg, so this helps us bring the likely parts on the first trip. We work Monday to Friday, and on Saturday mornings by appointment. Clients with a service level agreement have 24-hour access to our technicians.
