Door security gates in Edinburgh

What is the price of door security gates in Edinburgh?

Budget £714 to £1,554 including VAT (£595 to £1,295 plus VAT) per door for door security gates in Edinburgh, supplied and fitted. Size, number of leaves, colour and access all move the price, which is fixed in writing after the 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.

Can be combined with a letterbox gap or pet clearance where needed
Powder-coated finishes to match door frames
Retractable or hinged designs to suit the space beside the door

Fitting in Edinburgh and nearby

Edinburgh's Old and New Towns are a World Heritage Site full of listed tenements and shops, surrounded by suburbs and the Lothians' towns.

Glazed kitchen and utility doors
Office side entrances
Back and side doors of houses
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.

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.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent for works affecting their character, decided by the council, with Historic Environment Scotland consulted on some cases. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes. Check with the council before ordering.

Grilles across exits in business premises

In Scotland, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 make the duty holder keep escape routes and exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be open whenever the premises are occupied.

Door security gates in Edinburgh: questions

Can you survey in Edinburgh and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Edinburgh, Musselburgh, Dalkeith and elsewhere in Edinburgh and the Lothians are booked around installer availability.

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.

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.

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.
