How It Works
What happens after you enquire
We visit and measure
We call you within one working day to book a free site visit. We measure every opening and show you samples, usually within two working days in Gauteng.
Step 01
You get a written quote
Most quotes are sent on the day of the visit. Each one shows the product, finish, price and warranty, and is valid for 7 days.
Step 02
We make it in Alrode
Choose your payment option to confirm your order. Trellis doors and burglar bars take 5 to 7 working days to make; custom gates and shutters take 15 to 21.
Step 03
We install it
Once your order is ready, we book an installation date that suits you and fit every opening we measured at the site visit.
Step 04
What We Make

Custom Built
Made for your opening
Nothing here comes off a shelf. We make trellis doors, security gates and burglar bars to your measurements in our own factories in Alrode and Lusaka, and every security gate is quoted to your design.

Gates cut to your design
Driveway and pedestrian gates are made to the width of your opening, plain or laser-cut in a pattern like this bamboo design. Custom gates take 15 to 21 working days to make.

Roller shutters to size
Roller shutter doors are made to measure for garages, workshops and farm sheds like this one. Allow 15 to 21 working days. Roller shutter doors carry a 2-year warranty.

Garage doors that match
Robo Door garage doors are made to measure, with a 1-year warranty on the door and motor. Pair one with a laser-cut pedestrian gate in the same colour, as here.

Burglar proofing for any opening
Burglar bars are made to the size of each window and door, for houses, flats, shops, offices and farms. We make them in 5 to 7 working days, in a style to suit the building.

Guarantee
The Robo Door Break-In Repair Guarantee
If a forced break-in attempt damages a Deluxe trellis door or Deluxe Fixture bars within five years, we repair or replace the Robo Door-made parts that were damaged. Open a police case and send us the case number, photos and a written claim within 30 days, and we inspect before we repair. It applies when the product was installed by Robo Door or an authorised installer and properly maintained. Labour is excluded unless agreed, one claim per incident, and changes to the product void it.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much do security gates cost in South Africa?
Security gates are priced per opening after the free site visit. 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.
Do you install security gates across South Africa?
Yes. In Gauteng our own team measures and fits; elsewhere in South Africa the Robo Door location for your town does. The site visit and quote are free, and supply-only is available everywhere. Request a free quote to book the visit.
Where does Robo Door manufacture its security gates in South Africa?
At our own factory at 18 Barium Street, Alrode, Alberton, where we have made trellis doors, security gates and burglar bars since 2005. See the security gate range.
What payment options does Robo Door offer in South Africa?
70% deposit when you order and 30% on completion; or pay in full upfront for a 7% settlement discount on the ex-VAT total; or finance over 3 months interest-free or up to 24 months, applied for by SMS to 33130. Prices include VAT at 15%.
There is also a six-month layby. It is a pre-payment plan, not credit: your price is locked in when you accept your quote, you pay in instalments over up to 6 months, and manufacturing and installation follow once the full amount has been paid. Payment options has the details.
How fast can you respond to a quote request in my city?
In Gauteng we usually visit within two working days of your enquiry, and most quotes go out on the day of the visit (our job records, June to September 2026).
Elsewhere, call or WhatsApp us with your town and we will give you a date. Request a free quote to book yours.
