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
- Powder-coated finishes to match door frames
- Additional shoot bolts into the floor and head for wider gates
- Can be combined with a letterbox gap or pet clearance where needed
- Low-profile floor track options to reduce trip hazards
- Retractable or hinged designs to suit the space beside the door
- Locks operable from inside, outside or both

What to think about first
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.
Consents and safety: England
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.
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.

Door security gates in Exmouth: questions
Do you cover Exeter as well as Exmouth?
Yes. As well as Exmouth, we can arrange surveys in nearby Exeter, Newton Abbot and Torquay, and elsewhere in Devon.
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.
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.
