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

Fitting in Stirling and nearby
Stirling is about 10 miles from Falkirk, the main centre for Forth Valley. We can survey and fit across the FK8 district and in nearby places such as Alloa and Falkirk.
The Forth Valley covers historic Stirling, Falkirk and Grangemouth's industrial towns and Clackmannanshire's small burghs.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Shop back doors and fire exits (with the right arrangements)
- Back and side doors of houses
- Office side entrances
- Flat entrance doors onto communal areas
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.
Retractable or hinged
Retractable gates need a parking space beside the door for the stack; hinged gates need clear swing space.
Rules that apply in Scotland
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.
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.

Door security gates in Stirling: questions
Can you survey in Stirling and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Stirling, Alloa, Falkirk and elsewhere in Forth Valley are booked around 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.
