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.
Choices you can make
- Steel frames fixed into masonry with anti-tamper fixings
- Powder-coated finishes to match door frames
- Retractable or hinged designs to suit the space beside the door
- Locks operable from inside, outside or both
- Suitable for timber, uPVC, composite and aluminium doors
- Can be combined with a letterbox gap or pet clearance where needed

Things to decide before you order
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.
Rules that apply in England
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 Witham: questions
Do you cover Maldon as well as Witham?
Yes. As well as Witham, we can arrange surveys in nearby Maldon, Braintree and Chelmsford, and elsewhere in Essex.
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.
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.
