Fitting in Tewkesbury and nearby

Tewkesbury is about 9 miles from Gloucester, the main centre for Gloucestershire. We can survey and fit across the GL20 district and in nearby places such as Cheltenham and Gloucester.

Back and side doors of houses
Shop back doors and fire exits (with the right arrangements)
Office side entrances
Glazed kitchen and utility doors

What to think about first

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.

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.

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 Tewkesbury: questions

Do you cover Cheltenham as well as Tewkesbury?

Yes. As well as Tewkesbury, we can arrange surveys in nearby Cheltenham, Gloucester and Malvern, and elsewhere in Gloucestershire.

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.

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.

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.
