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.

Suitable for timber, uPVC, composite and aluminium doors
Can be combined with a letterbox gap or pet clearance where needed
Low-profile floor track options to reduce trip hazards

Fitting in Peterlee and nearby

We arrange surveys and fitting in Peterlee and across the SR8 postcode district, as well as in nearby Seaham (5 miles) and Hartlepool (7 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

County Durham's stock is dominated by brick terraces in former colliery towns, alongside the listed historic core of Durham city and Teesside's commercial centres.

This type of grille suits:

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

Questions we will ask at the survey

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.

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.

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 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 Peterlee: questions

Can you survey in Peterlee and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Peterlee, Seaham, Hartlepool and elsewhere in Durham 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.

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.
