Fitting in Bideford and nearby
Bideford is about 45 miles from Plymouth, the main centre for Devon. We can survey and fit across the EX39 district and in nearby places such as Barnstaple and Tiverton.
Devon runs from post-war Plymouth and Exeter city centres to Victorian seaside terraces in Torbay and thatched and stone cottages inland.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Back and side doors of houses
- Glazed kitchen and utility doors
- Shop back doors and fire exits (with the right arrangements)
- Flat entrance doors onto communal areas
Things to decide before you order
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.
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.
Rules that apply in England
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.
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.

Door security gates in Bideford: questions
Do you cover Barnstaple as well as Bideford?
Yes. As well as Bideford, we can arrange surveys in nearby Barnstaple, Tiverton and Exeter, and elsewhere in Devon.
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.
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 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.
