Door security gates in Harlow

What is the price of door security gates in Harlow?

Most door security gates in Harlow fall within £714 to £1,554 including VAT (£595 to £1,295 plus VAT) per door for supply and fitting. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey, before anything is ordered.

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.

Fitting in Harlow and nearby

Harlow is about 31 miles from Southend-on-Sea, the main centre for Essex. We can survey and fit across the CM17 district and in nearby places such as Hoddesdon and Bishop's Stortford.

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:

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

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.

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 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.

Door security gates in Harlow: questions

Can you survey in Harlow and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Harlow, Hoddesdon, Bishop's Stortford and elsewhere in Essex are booked around installer availability.

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.

Can a security gate go behind a fire exit door?

Only if it does not obstruct escape while the building is occupied. That normally means it is unlocked and parked open during opening hours and locked only when the premises are empty.
