County Antrim centres on Belfast's red-brick terraces, Victorian city centre and commercial areas, with towns such as Lisburn, Ballymena and Larne.

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

Questions we will ask at the survey

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.

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 in Northern Ireland, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.

Grilles in rented homes

Private landlords in Northern Ireland have fitness and safety duties under the Private Tenancies (Northern Ireland) Order 2006, as amended by the Private Tenancies Act (Northern Ireland) 2022. Grilles over windows a tenant may need for escape should open from inside without a key.

Door security gates in Carrickfergus: questions

Can you survey in Carrickfergus and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Carrickfergus, Holywood, Newtownabbey and elsewhere in County Antrim are booked around 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.

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.
