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
- Additional shoot bolts into the floor and head for wider gates
- Retractable or hinged designs to suit the space beside the door
Fitting in Derby and nearby
We arrange surveys and fitting across Derby and the DE1 postcode district, and in nearby Belper (7 miles), Ilkeston (8 miles) and Heanor.
Derbyshire has gritstone cottages in the Peak District, Victorian terraces in Derby and Chesterfield, and retail parades in its former mining towns.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Shop back doors and fire exits (with the right arrangements)
- Flat entrance doors onto communal areas
- Back and side doors of houses
- Office side entrances
Things to decide before you order
Retractable or hinged
Retractable gates need a parking space beside the door for the stack; hinged gates need clear swing space.
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
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 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 Derby: questions
Do you cover Belper as well as Derby?
Yes. As well as Derby, we can arrange surveys in nearby Belper, Ilkeston and Heanor, and elsewhere in Derbyshire.
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.
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.
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.
