Sequ-Door Steel Flat Bars – Smart Burglar Bars for Window Vent Security
Practical, powder-coated burglar bars for windows that secure your vent opening without blocking your view – a neat, effective solution for everyday window protection across Gauteng.
Burglar Bars for Windows That Protect Without the Bulk
Sequ-Door’s Steel Flat Bars are a practical and cost-effective burglar bar solution designed to secure your window vent opening whilst leaving the rest of the window unobstructed. Each bar is manufactured from 5mm hardened powder-coated steel, cut to size and secured directly to the vent opening of your window – deterring unauthorised entry through the gap that opens when you ventilate your home.
As far burglar bars for windows go, flat bars strike a smart balance: they provide a meaningful security layer for everyday use without the visual weight of full-window bars. Colour-matched to your window frames and professionally installed, they are a popular choice for homes and offices that want reliable window security bars with a low-profile finish.

FAQs
What are Steel Flat Bars and what do they protect?
Steel Flat Bars are 5mm hardened, powder-coated steel bars cut to fit the vent opening of your window. They are designed to prevent unauthorised entry through the gap that opens when you ventilate your home, making them a practical and discreet burglar bar solution for everyday use.
How do Steel Flat Bars differ from Steel Round Bars?
Steel Flat Bars cover only the vent opening, leaving the rest of the window unobstructed. They are a lower-profile option suited to lighter-duty security needs. Steel Round Bars, by contrast, cover the full window opening and provide a higher level of barrier protection, making them the stronger choice for higher-risk windows.
Can burglar bars for windows be colour-matched to my frames?
Yes. Steel Flat Bars are powder-coated and available in a full range of colours. Standard colours include White, Bronze, Charcoal, Black, and Silver, with non-standard and custom colours available on request.
Are Steel Flat Bars custom-made to my window size?
Yes. Our team will measure your specific vent opening before cutting the bars to size. This ensures a precise, secure fit with no gaps.
Do the bars require much maintenance?
Very little. Once installed, Steel Flat Bars are low maintenance. Keep them clean and check periodically that fixings remain secure. Follow the care guidance in our “Security – using and maintaining” document to protect your warranty.
Are Steel Flat Bars suitable for all window types?
They are designed for aluminium window vent openings. Our team will assess your specific window type and opening during the measurement consultation to confirm suitability and the best fitting approach.
Do you provide professional installation of burglar bars for windows and doors?
