Where door security gates are most often used:

Shop back doors and fire exits (with the right arrangements)
Back and side doors of houses
Office side entrances
Flat entrance doors onto communal areas

What to think about first

Retractable or hinged

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

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.

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 Stonehaven: questions

Can you survey in Stonehaven and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Stonehaven, Aberdeen, Montrose and elsewhere in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray are booked around installer availability.

Is a security gate better inside or outside the door?

Inside is usual for back doors because the gate is protected and the door still seals against the weather. Outside works for recessed doorways or where the door opens inwards and would hit the gate.

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.

Can you fit a gate to a flat entrance door?

Yes, subject to the building owner's permission and any fire strategy for the block, as flat entrance doors in shared buildings often have a fire safety role.
