Door security gates in Falmouth: what will it cost?
Our guide range for door security gates in Falmouth is £714 to £1,554 including VAT (£595 to £1,295 plus VAT) per door, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.
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
- Low-profile floor track options to reduce trip hazards
- Can be combined with a letterbox gap or pet clearance where needed
- Suitable for timber, uPVC, composite and aluminium doors
- Powder-coated finishes to match door frames
- Locks operable from inside, outside or both
- Additional shoot bolts into the floor and head for wider gates
Fitting in Falmouth and nearby
We arrange surveys and fitting in Falmouth and across the TR11 postcode district, as well as in nearby Truro (8 miles) and Redruth (9 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Cornwall's stock is largely granite and slate cottages, terraces and holiday lets, with many seasonal properties left empty for part of the year.
Common openings for door security gates:
- Flat entrance doors onto communal areas
- Shop back doors and fire exits (with the right arrangements)
- Back and side doors of houses
- Glazed kitchen and utility doors
Getting the right door gate for your building
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.
What the rules say 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.
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 Falmouth: questions
Which areas near Falmouth do you cover?
We can arrange work in Falmouth and in nearby Truro (8 miles), Redruth (9 miles) and Camborne (11 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
