Frequently asked questions about burglar proofing in Johannesburg
What SABS marks should burglar bars and security gates carry?
Look for SANS 1700 (metal trellis security doors) and SANS 1518 (window protection bars) compliance — manufacturers' products are tested for impact resistance, lock-cylinder strength, and frame deformation. Door-frame anchoring must use M10 expansion bolts into structural concrete or brick. Wrought-iron and aluminium-clad steel bars meet the spec; pure aluminium bars do not.
How much does a full house burglar-proofing setup cost?
3-bed home: window bars R350–R750 per window (12–18 windows), door gates R3,500–R7,500 each (3–5 doors), motorised driveway gate R12,000–R28,000, intercom R4,500–R12,000. Full setup: R65,000–R140,000. Wrought-iron and powder-coated finishes hold up longer in coastal areas (10–15 years vs 5–8 in salty conditions).
Does burglar-proofing affect home insurance premiums?
Yes — most SA insurers require SABS-compliant bars on all opening windows and metal security doors at all external entries before issuing a policy. Linking to an alarm and armed response (24-hour off-site monitoring) typically discounts 10–25%. Document with photos at policy issue; missing bars at claim time void the cover under the duty-of-care clause.
