Door security gates in March

What is the price of door security gates in March?

As a guide, door security gates in March cost £714 to £1,554 including VAT (£595 to £1,295 plus VAT) per door, supplied and fitted. The exact figure depends on size, type, finish and locking, and is confirmed in writing after the free 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.

Fitting in March and nearby

March is about 14 miles from Peterborough, the main centre for Cambridgeshire. We can survey and fit across the PE15 district and in nearby places such as Wisbech and Peterborough.

Cambridgeshire includes listed college-town streets in Cambridge, the Victorian terraces and newer estates of Peterborough, and fenland market towns.

This type of grille suits:

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

Questions we will ask at the survey

Retractable or hinged

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

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.

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.

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 March: questions

Can you survey in March and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in March, Wisbech, Peterborough and elsewhere in Cambridgeshire are booked around installer availability.

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.

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.
