What is the price of door security gates in Chelmsford?

Budget £714 to £1,554 including VAT (£595 to £1,295 plus VAT) per door for door security gates in Chelmsford, 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.

Powder-coated finishes to match door frames
Additional shoot bolts into the floor and head for wider gates

Fitting in Chelmsford and nearby

We arrange surveys and fitting in Chelmsford and across the CM1 postcode district, as well as in nearby Billericay (8 miles) and Witham (9 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

Essex ranges from Victorian terraces in Southend and Colchester to new towns such as Harlow and Basildon and large commuter estates near London.

This type of grille suits:

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

Questions we will ask at the survey

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.

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.

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 Chelmsford: questions

Do you cover Billericay as well as Chelmsford?

Yes. As well as Chelmsford, we can arrange surveys in nearby Billericay, Witham and Maldon, and elsewhere in Essex.

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.

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.
