Office side entrances
Shop back doors and fire exits (with the right arrangements)
Glazed kitchen and utility doors
Flat entrance doors onto communal areas

What to think about first

Which side you lock from

A gate that is only locked from inside suits most homes. If the door is your way out at night, choose a gate that also locks from outside.

Retractable or hinged

Retractable gates need a parking space beside the door for the stack; hinged gates need clear swing space.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent for works affecting their character, decided by the council, with Historic Environment Scotland consulted on some cases. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes. Check with the council before ordering.

Grilles across exits in business premises

In Scotland, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 make the duty holder keep escape routes and exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be open whenever the premises are occupied.

Door security gates in Inverurie: questions

Do you cover Aberdeen as well as Inverurie?

Yes. As well as Inverurie, we can arrange surveys in nearby Aberdeen, Stonehaven and Peterhead, and elsewhere in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray.

How do I lock a door gate?

With a key-operated lock box on the closing edge, plus shoot bolts on wider gates. Thumb-turn and quick-release options are available on the inside face.

Can a security gate go behind a fire exit door?

Only if it does not obstruct escape while the building is occupied. That normally means it is unlocked and parked open during opening hours and locked only when the premises are empty.

Will a gate stop the door from opening?

No. The gate is measured so the door can open and close normally with the gate folded back or swung open.
