Fitting in Dunstable and nearby

Dunstable is about 5 miles from Luton, the main centre for Bedfordshire. We can survey and fit across the LU6 district and in nearby places such as Luton and Leighton Buzzard.

Bedfordshire runs from Victorian terraces in Bedford and Luton to large post-war estates and new-build edges around Leighton Buzzard, with busy retail parades in every town centre.

Typical places for this kind of grille include:

Glazed kitchen and utility doors
Back and side doors of houses
Office side entrances
Flat entrance doors onto communal areas

Things to decide before you order

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.

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.

Rules that apply in England

England

Grilles in rented homes

Landlords in England must keep rented homes free from serious hazards under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System, which includes fire. A grille that stops a tenant using an escape window can create a hazard, so grilles in rented homes should have keyless internal releases.

Grilles across exits in business premises

In workplaces and other non-domestic premises, including the common parts of blocks of flats and HMOs, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep escape routes and emergency exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be unlocked and parked open whenever the building is occupied, and covered in the fire risk assessment.

Door security gates in Dunstable: questions

Which areas near Dunstable do you cover?

We can arrange work in Dunstable and in nearby Luton (5 miles), Leighton Buzzard (6 miles) and Harpenden (9 miles). Dates depend on 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.

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.
