Door security gates in Aberystwyth

What is the price of door security gates in Aberystwyth?

As a guide, door security gates in Aberystwyth cost £714 to £1,554 including VAT (£595 to £1,295 plus VAT) per door, supplied and fitted. The exact figure depends on size, type, finish and locking, and is confirmed in writing after the free survey.

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.

Locks operable from inside, outside or both
Steel frames fixed into masonry with anti-tamper fixings

Fitting in Aberystwyth and nearby

We arrange surveys and fitting in Aberystwyth and across the SY23 postcode district, as well as in nearby Llandrindod Wells (32 miles) and Newtown (33 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

South-west Wales is largely rural, with stone and rendered terraces in towns such as Llanelli, Carmarthen and Haverfordwest and many holiday properties on the coast.

This type of grille suits:

Office side entrances
Back and side doors of houses
Flat entrance doors onto communal areas
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.

Planning and safety in Wales

Wales

Grilles inside the glass

A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Wales, 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

Under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016, landlords must keep dwellings fit for human habitation, which takes fire hazards into account. Grilles over windows a contract-holder may need for escape should open from inside without a key.

Door security gates in Aberystwyth: questions

Do you cover Llandrindod Wells as well as Aberystwyth?

Yes. As well as Aberystwyth, we can arrange surveys in nearby Llandrindod Wells, Newtown and Pwllheli, and elsewhere in Dyfed.

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.

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.
