How much do door security gates cost in Largs?
Budget £714 to £1,554 including VAT (£595 to £1,295 plus VAT) per door for door security gates in Largs, supplied and fitted. Size, number of leaves, colour and access all move the price, which is fixed in writing after the survey.
A door security gate is a steel grille fitted across a doorway, either as a retractable concertina gate or a hinged gate on its own frame. Locked, it holds the opening even if the door itself is forced or its glass is broken.
What goes into a door gate
- Suitable for timber, uPVC, composite and aluminium doors
- Can be combined with a letterbox gap or pet clearance where needed
- Steel frames fixed into masonry with anti-tamper fixings
- Additional shoot bolts into the floor and head for wider gates
- Retractable or hinged designs to suit the space beside the door
- Low-profile floor track options to reduce trip hazards

Things to decide before you order
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.
Floor track
A full track gives the most rigid gate. If the doorway is a busy route or has level access, ask for a low-profile or recessed track.
Rules that apply in Scotland
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Scotland, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.
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 Largs: questions
Do you cover Dunoon as well as Largs?
Yes. As well as Largs, we can arrange surveys in nearby Dunoon, Saltcoats and Greenock, and elsewhere in Ayrshire.
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.
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.
