Door security gates in Clydebank

Door security gates in Clydebank: what will it cost?

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

What you can specify

Additional shoot bolts into the floor and head for wider gates
Low-profile floor track options to reduce trip hazards
Retractable or hinged designs to suit the space beside the door
Suitable for timber, uPVC, composite and aluminium doors

Getting the right door gate for your building

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.

Retractable or hinged

Retractable gates need a parking space beside the door for the stack; hinged gates need clear swing space.

What the rules say in Scotland

Scotland

Grilles inside the glass

A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Scotland, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.

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 Clydebank: questions

Can you survey in Clydebank and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Clydebank, Renfrew, Bearsden and elsewhere in Glasgow and Clyde are booked around installer availability.

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.

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 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.
