Door security gates in Newquay: what will it cost?
As a guide, door security gates in Newquay 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.
What goes into a door gate
- Retractable or hinged designs to suit the space beside the door
- Suitable for timber, uPVC, composite and aluminium doors
- Steel frames fixed into masonry with anti-tamper fixings
- Powder-coated finishes to match door frames
- Low-profile floor track options to reduce trip hazards
- Can be combined with a letterbox gap or pet clearance where needed

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.
Retractable or hinged
Retractable gates need a parking space beside the door for the stack; hinged gates need clear swing space.
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 Newquay: questions
Which areas near Newquay do you cover?
We can arrange work in Newquay and in nearby Truro (10 miles), St Austell (14 miles) and Redruth (14 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.
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.
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.
