Custom design & fabrication
If it's not in the range, we'll build it
iMAT is a manufacturer first — in-house designers, mechanical and electronic engineers, and our own steel fabrication in Cape Town and Johannesburg. Custom brackets, mounts, enclosures, gates and any metal work around your access-control installation: designed with CAD, built to spec, one-off or production run.
Brackets & mounts
Camera brackets, wall and pole mounts, anti-tamper fixings — one-offs or production runs.
Enclosures & housings
Equipment boxes, battery enclosures, reader housings and junction boxes, sized to your kit.
Custom gates & frames
Pedestrian gates, guide rails and full-height frames made to your exact opening.
Bespoke booth builds
Security booths to non-standard dimensions, layouts, glazing and counters.
Branded metal work
Powder-coated panels, branded barrier arms and signage carriers in your colours.
Modified standard units
Any unit in our range adapted — arm counts, heights, handing, materials, controls.
Integration hardware
Reader posts, intercom plates and sensor mounts that tie into CCTV and biometric systems.
Export & flat-pack
Engineered to pack flat and bolt together on site — like our export flat-pack turnstile.
How it works
From sketch to steel in four steps
The same team that designs our product range handles your custom work — from proposal to on-site installation.
1
Tell us what you need
A sketch, a sample, a photo of the site — or just the problem. We'll take it from there.

In-house CAD design
Our mechanical and electronic engineers draw it up and send you a proposal to approve.

Fabricated in our plants
Built in our own factories in Cape Town and Johannesburg — the same lines that build our range.

Finish, deliver, install
Powder-coated, galvanised or stainless — then delivered, and installed if you need us to.
