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 you can specify
- Locks operable from inside, outside or both
- Retractable or hinged designs to suit the space beside the door
- Can be combined with a letterbox gap or pet clearance where needed
- Powder-coated finishes to match door frames
- Low-profile floor track options to reduce trip hazards
- Steel frames fixed into masonry with anti-tamper fixings
Fitting in Runcorn and nearby
We arrange surveys and fitting in Runcorn and across the WA7 postcode district, as well as in nearby Widnes (1 mile) and Halewood (4 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Cheshire has half-timbered and listed buildings in central Chester, Victorian terraces in Crewe and Warrington, and large modern estates across the county.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Flat entrance doors onto communal areas
- Shop back doors and fire exits (with the right arrangements)
- Back and side doors of houses
- Office side entrances
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.
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.
Rules that apply in 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 Runcorn: questions
Do you cover Widnes as well as Runcorn?
Yes. As well as Runcorn, we can arrange surveys in nearby Widnes, Halewood and Huyton, and elsewhere in Cheshire.
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.
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.
