Door security gates in Redruth: what will it cost?
Our guide range for door security gates in Redruth 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.
Choices you can make
- Can be combined with a letterbox gap or pet clearance where needed
- Suitable for timber, uPVC, composite and aluminium doors
- Retractable or hinged designs to suit the space beside the door

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.
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
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.
Grilles in rented homes
Landlords in England must keep rented homes free from serious hazards under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System, which includes fire. A grille that stops a tenant using an escape window can create a hazard, so grilles in rented homes should have keyless internal releases.

Door security gates in Redruth: questions
Can you survey in Redruth and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Redruth, Camborne, Truro and elsewhere in Cornwall are booked around 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.
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.
