Safe by Design, a company founded by Adolph Seabi, a 30-year-old black South African entrepreneur, was launched in 2022 and offers an exclusive range of innovative doors designed for maximum security and style.
Studies show that 70% of intruders enter through a door, and given the crime rate in South Africa, Safe by Design doors might be one of the most important investment options for South African businesses and citizens alike. In fact, the latest crime statistics, which highlighted crimes in South Africa from January to March 2023, showed a notable rise in residential robbery across the country.
Noting that crime in South Africa affects everyone, Safe by Design provides creatively constructed doors for both homes and commercial properties to minimize the risk of burglary. The company manufactures Residential Doors, Anti-Bandit Doors, and Industrial Doors that offer tailored safety solutions for companies such as mines, power stations, and other high-risk environments.
‘’Our clients don’t have to adjust their openings for our doors, and we can match any design our clients have seen, says Adolph Seabi. “In as much as our doors are stylish, they also offer security features, and they are thermally insulated. There are currently only two companies in the country that do these types of doors.’’
He adds that the idea to produce the doors came from the company he used to work for. “I noticed there was a demand for companies that manufacture these doors,” explains Seabi. “I used my experience as a former employee of a now-closed safety door manufacturing company to launch Safe by Design. This unique business emanates from few companies customising and manufacturing such doors, and even fewer companies making stylish and secured doors.”
Safe by Design has now closed this vacuum and is the only black-owned safety and stylish door manufacturing company in South Africa, if not the whole continent.
Residential Doors by Safe by Design are an affordable option for households that replace traditional wooden doors and security gates altogether. They are both secure and good-looking, with a lighter weight and prevention of sound transmission.
Safe by Design’s Industrial Range of high-security doors are specifically designed to meet the needs of demanding settings and include blast-resistant doors, bulletproof security doors, and doors that are both thermal and sound-insulated.
The founder assures that each door is custom-made to meet the specific requirements of the client, ensuring that their individual security needs are fully met.
Industrial doors by Safe by Design are also a perfect solution for remotely located buildings, public buildings and other industrial settings where security is of utmost importance. They ultimately offer a wise investment to protect your assets for years to come.
Each of the door models has also undergone rigorous testing by independent experts and they have proven to withstand even the most determined burglars.
Safe by Design does not only offer these unique solutions, but the company is also creating employment and transferring these in-demand skills.
