About Us
Alcatraz Security Gates, Burglar Proofing & Home Services has been established since 2001, situated at 8 Spin Street, Sacks Circle, Bellville. Our mission is to provide professional & efficient intruder barrier solutions to meet our clients' needs.
Our focus area of operations is Bellville & surrounding suburbs, and we have also exported to the Island of St Helena. As a family enterprise, we operate on a personal physical presence, together with our staff, for the duration of installation at your premises. Please note that we do not do any building of walls, columns, etc, our expertise lies in mild steel fabrications & installation thereof.

We have a reputation of excellent service and integrity, evidenced by the fact that most of our new business comes from repeat customers & their referrals to family and friends, and we are Fully Dedicated to Mutual Satisfaction upon completion of all installations and projects we undertake.  ( See letter of recommendation )

Metal-Work
We manufacture and install all types of sliding and swinging driveway gates, pedestrian gates, palisade & bar / tube fencing, spanish bars, window burglar bars, and other styles and patterns of burglar proofing barriers to windows, patios, entrances, etc.

We custom design and manufacture to your own specifications, alternatively to your choice from the Photo Gallery further within this website. Perhaps you have seen a design you really fancy somewhere ? Take a photo, and then email or SMS to us so we can design and quote accordingly.

Bar Gates & Palisade Type Fencing
Open-spaced bar gates and fences offer a much higher level of visible perimeter security than walls, as intruders are unable to hide behind such fencing without the possibility of being seen from the interior and the exterior of the property.

We have a wide selection of ornamental products to enhance the aesthetics of the finished structure, and/or spike-rails fitted horizontally across the top of gates and perimeter panels, making it more difficult for intruders wanting to climb over.

Corrosion Protection
All steel products will be hot-dip galvanized for rust protection, and in the event of on-site welding where necessary, ( repairs to old gates, etc, ) the weld points will be treated with appropriate anti rust & corrosion agents. We are also able to have your products powder coated if required, or painted to suit your property colour scheme.

Gate Automation
We install ET-Systems sliding gate motors, supplied with 2 remote controls, ( extra remotes on request ). Sand, lawn, etc, is very efficiently kept off the path of gate travel in our unique track housing when appropriate.  Motors can be programmed to close automatically after a pre-set lapse of time. E T Systems motors can be operated even during power outages due to an incorporated battery. The motor will be connected to AC Power for the built-in battery charger to keep the battery loaded.

Infra-red safety beams can also be installed and connected to the motor, and serves the purpose of stopping / preventing the gate from closing whenever an obstruction is detected in the path of the beams. An example of this is when a vehicle is still in the path of the gate travel, due to waiting for passing traffic before proceeding to drive through. While the vehicle obstructs the beams, THE GATE WILL NOT CLOSE !

Intercoms & Electric Locks
A video or audio intercom system can be installed, which can be linked to operate an electric pedestrian gate lock, OR open and close a driveway gate, via the interior handset.

Building Plans
Building plans are required to be submitted to the local authority for all boundary erections and alterations. We will take care of all technicalities involved in drafting, submission and collection of approved plans as needed for domestic residential properties. For townhouse type complexes, apartment units and commercial properties it is advised to get the original architects to draft and submit.
