Getting the right door gate for your building

Fire exits

On business premises a gate across an exit must not obstruct escape while anyone is inside. We discuss how it will be managed before recommending one.

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.

What the rules say in England

England

Grilles inside the glass

A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission, because it does not materially change how the building looks from outside. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings need listed building consent for works that affect their character, which can include internal grilles and their fixings. In conservation areas, councils look closely at anything fitted to the outside. We recommend speaking to the council's conservation officer before ordering.

Door security gates in Chalfont St Peter: questions

Do you cover Gerrards Cross as well as Chalfont St Peter?

Yes. As well as Chalfont St Peter, we can arrange surveys in nearby Gerrards Cross, Rickmansworth and Amersham, and elsewhere in Buckinghamshire.

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 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.
