Powder coating in our own factory
Powder coating for Robo Door products and customer-supplied metalwork, with colour and finish selected for the application.

Powder Coating
In-house powder coating for fabricated steel and metalwork, including standard colour, sheen, texture and selected decorative finish options.
Robo Door powder coats its own products and customer-supplied metalwork in-house, in a wide range of standard colours with gloss, satin, matte and textured finishes. Surface preparation is matched to the substrate, from a standard clean to sandblasting or galvanising.
The coating is only one part of the finish.
Powder coating uses electrostatically applied dry powder that is cured to form the finished coating. The appearance can range from smooth gloss through satin, matte and textured finishes, with selected decorative effects available by system.
Surface preparation comes first.
The substrate, its existing coating, contamination, galvanising and exposure all affect the preparation required before powder is applied. New fabrication and refurbishment therefore do not always follow the same preparation route.
Colour and finish
Customer-supplied items
Third-party steelwork can be assessed for coating, but existing rust, paint, oil, unknown alloys or previous finishes may require additional preparation. The item should be inspected before a coating system or warranty is promised.

Service Questions
We make trellis doors, security gates, burglar bars, driveway and garden gates, fencing, balustrades, staircases, pergolas, shutters, privacy panels, wall art and equipment covers.
Garage doors are supplied and installed by Robo Door. Browse them all on the products page.
Security gates are priced per opening after the free site visit, because each one is made to size. Trellis doors start from R3,500 and burglar bars from R1,000, including VAT.
As an example, a two-door job in Gauteng in September 2026, a Deluxe Trellis Door and a steel security gate, came to about R14,500 including VAT after the 7% upfront discount. That is one job's total, not a rate. The security gate cost guide shows what moves the price.
In Gauteng, half of our jobs are fitted within 10 working days of the deposit, and eight in ten within 20 working days (our own job records, June to September 2026). The product is made first: trellis doors, fixtures and burglar bars take 5 to 7 working days, DuPlus 10 to 14, and custom gates and shutters 15 to 21. We book the installation date with you and tell you then how long the team will be on site. Request a free quote to book the visit.
