Finance your DEFENDoor® installation
Pay for any DEFENDoor® order in monthly instalments over up to 24 months, in conjunction with FeverTree Finance.
You can pay for any DEFENDoor® order in monthly instalments, over a term of up to 24 months, through our finance partner FeverTree Finance. It applies right across the range, from security gates and roller shutters to burglar bars, window fixtures, louvre shutters, mesh screens, and armoured doors, so a house or a full site can be secured in one installation instead of one opening at a time.
The credit agreement is between you and FeverTree Finance, not with DEFENDoor®. FeverTree is a licensed financial services provider (FSP 44281) and a registered credit provider (NCRCP19967). They run the affordability assessment and the credit check, and they set the fees, the interest rate, and the term. We provide the quotation you apply against, and we manufacture and install once your account is approved.
That split tells you who to ask about what. Come to DEFENDoor® for the products, the free assessment, your quotation, and the installation. Go to FeverTree for anything about your application, your instalments, or your account.

How it works, in four steps
The first step is ours and the last brings it back to us. The two in the middle are between you and FeverTree.
-
1. Get your DEFENDoor® quote
Book a free on-site security assessment. We measure the openings, talk through the options with a sample in hand, and issue a written quotation. This comes first for a practical reason, because the quotation is the amount your application is made against.
-
2. Complete the online application
Apply to FeverTree Finance directly. It is a standard credit application covering your details, your income, and your expenses, so they can run the affordability assessment and credit check the National Credit Act requires.
-
3. Send your supporting documents
Upload them with the application, or email them to enquiries@fevertreefinance.co.za. There are three documents, listed below. They go to FeverTree rather than to us, so DEFENDoor® never handles your ID or your bank statements.
-
4. Place your order
Once your account is processed and the checks are complete, place your order with any DEFENDoor® sales representative, and we schedule manufacture and installation.
What you will need to apply
Have all three ready before you start, because a missing document is what usually holds an application up.
-
A colour copy of your ID
In colour, not a black-and-white scan. Finance is available to South African citizens only.
-
Three months' bank statements
Your latest three months. The affordability assessment is based on these, so they need to be the bank’s own statements rather than a screenshot of a balance.
-
Your DEFENDoor® quotation
The written quote from your assessment. It sets the amount you are applying for, which is why step one is a measured quotation rather than an estimate over the phone.
Choose your payment term
Both plans run through FeverTree Finance on the same fees. The length of the term is the choice.
Up to 24 months
The longer term, for spreading a multi-opening job or a full site across up to two years.

The two plans differ only in how long you take to pay — the fee structure is identical. Fees and interest rates are set by FeverTree Finance and change from time to time, so we do not publish amounts here that would date. FeverTree confirms your exact initiation fee, monthly service fee, interest rate and instalment on your application, before you sign anything.
Worth knowing before you apply
A few things that are true of any credit agreement and easy to find out too late.
Get the quotation first, and get it for the whole job. Applications are approved for a set amount, and it is far easier to apply once for everything you want done than to come back for the second half in six months. If budget is the constraint, tell the consultant at the assessment, and we will quote the full property so you can decide what to do in which order.
A credit application involves a credit check. FeverTree assesses your affordability against your bank statements and checks your credit record, and the application itself is recorded. That is how the National Credit Act requires it to work, so it is worth applying when your statements reflect a normal month.
Ask what the full instalment is, not just the interest rate. The number that counts is the whole monthly instalment, capital, interest, initiation fee, and monthly service fee together, and what the job will have cost you in total by the end of the term. FeverTree must give you both before you sign, and you are entitled to take that away and think it over.
Ask us for a sample before you commit to anything. With so much variety and choice on the market, insist on seeing the actual product. DEFENDoor® consultants carry samples to the free assessment and will answer any security question you have while they are there.
