Suitable for timber, uPVC, composite and aluminium doors

Fitting in Colchester and nearby

Surveys in Colchester (CO1) are booked around installer availability. We also cover nearby Sudbury (13 miles), Clacton-on-Sea (13 miles) and Witham (13 miles).

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:

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

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.

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.

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.

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 Colchester: questions

Which areas near Colchester do you cover?

We can arrange work in Colchester and in nearby Sudbury (13 miles), Clacton-on-Sea (13 miles) and Witham (13 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

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.
