Safety and Security

According to Stats SA’s report in Dec 2020, housebreakings remain to be one of the most common crimes in South Africa. Victims of housebreakings are quite often left with having to pick up the pieces of their lives, not only due to the loss of personal possessions, but even worse, due to the sense of violation after such an ordeal.

Glass and Allied are passionate about encouraging all South Africans to make every effort to prevent potential loss and trauma – inevitable for all housebreaking survivors. Which is why we are proud to always recommend and use the legal glass-thickness of 6.38mm or more for all of our door installations.

Increase Security by Installing Safety Film to Your Glass Sliding Doors

Safety Film covering your glass doors and windows is one of the most effective ways to increase security of your residential and business buildings. Our team of experienced technicians express great confidence in the use of our standard 50mm and/or 100mm micron clear safety film, which would take potential intruders up to 1-hour to break through.

Benefits of installing shatterproof safety film on all of your glass doors and windows:

Strengthens and shatter proofs glass doors and windows
Burglars will almost always flee the scene rather than continue their attempts at force entry
Reduces risk of broken glass injuries
Reduces glare
Protects against UV rays
Reduces the risk of storm damage

Prevent Invasion and Burglary by Fitting a Nitelock to Your Aluminium Sliding Patio Doors

Protect your loved ones and possessions with added security when installing a Nitelock which functions as barricade for entry/exit point aluminium sliding doors.

Once installed and securely anchored to the internal floors of your building, our Nitelocks actually use the strength of the floor to create a powerful resistance against attempts at forced entry. Potential invaders are instantly deterred once a Nitelock is spotted, due to it being nearly impossible to dismount the sliding door from its rail. You can have peace of mind at night or while you’re away, knowing that your Nitelock increases the security of your loved ones and belongings.

In addition, Nitelocks have been designed to unlock extremely quickly and easily, therefore allow for little to no obstruction during an emergency exit situation.

Maximize Security and Safety with Shatterproof Glass

Benefits of using shatterproof glass over standard panels and/or alternative materials used for doors, include:

Injury prevention in an accidental breakage incident
Increased protection from potential home invaders
Increased weather-damage protection
UV protection
Aesthetically pleasing
