Why Choose Burglar Bars for Your Windows?
Windows are one of the most vulnerable entry points in any home or business, making them a common target for break-ins. Burglar bars offer a highly effective deterrent against intruders by providing a physical barrier that is difficult to breach.
Unlike alarms, which only react after an intrusion has occurred, burglar bars act as a proactive security solution, protecting your property around the clock.
Installing burglar bars gives homeowners peace of mind, especially in high-risk areas, and helps protect valuable assets while ensuring the safety of loved ones. They are also ideal for businesses looking to secure premises after hours without compromising visibility or airflow.
DEFENDoor offers a range of burglar bars and window fixtures designed with both security and aesthetics in mind.
Our products are manufactured from high-quality steel and are powder-coated for durability and weather resistance.
No matter if you prefer a classic cottage-pane look or sleek horizontal lines, DEFENDoor’s range caters to various architectural styles and security needs. With professional installation and customizable options, you can secure your property without sacrificing style.
Key Features and Benefits
When investing in burglar bars, it’s essential to choose a product that not only enhances your security but also stands the test of time.
DEFENDoor’s burglar bars and window fixtures are designed with both form and function in mind, offering a range of standout features that make them a preferred choice for South African homes and businesses.
One of the most important benefits of DEFENDoor’s burglar bars is their rust resistance. Manufactured using high-quality materials and finished with a durable powder coating, these bars are built to withstand harsh weather conditions and long-term exposure to the elements – ideal for coastal regions or areas with high humidity.
The powder-coated finish also offers a smooth, clean appearance and is available in various colours to suit your exterior or interior style.
Another key feature is customizability. DEFENDoor offers a variety of bar designs, including horizontal and cottage pane configurations, allowing customers to select the aesthetic that best matches their property.
Bars can be made to fit windows of any size, ensuring a seamless, integrated look. Additional options such as fixed or swing-away units give homeowners flexibility depending on their ventilation or emergency exit needs. We also offer mesh security screens as an alternative choice.
Installation is carried out by trained professionals to provide a secure fit and neat finish. The team takes care to mount each fixture in a way that maximises strength without damaging existing window frames or finishes.
This attention to detail means that every DEFENDoor installation is as attractive as it is effective, offering lasting protection, minimal maintenance, and a discreet visual footprint.
Installation Process
At DEFENDoor, we understand that security solutions must be as seamless to install as they are effective. That’s why our burglar bar installation process is designed for efficiency, precision, and minimal disruption to your daily routine.
The process begins with an on-site assessment, where our team takes accurate measurements and discusses your preferences regarding design, colour, and configuration.
Once specifications are confirmed, your custom burglar bars are manufactured to exact fit and finish, ensuring both security and visual harmony with your property.
Installation is carried out by our highly trained professionals, who work with care and attention to detail. The burglar bars are securely mounted using tamper-resistant fittings, without damaging existing frames or compromising structural integrity.
If you’re installing fixed units or retractable security gates, our team sees that everything is aligned, stable, and cleanly finished.
The result is a professional-grade installation that enhances your property’s safety without compromising aesthetics. Every project is completed efficiently and with full respect for your time and space, often within a single day depending on the scope of work.
With DEFENDoor, you get more than just protection, you get peace of mind from a team that values quality and reliability.
