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.
Consents and safety: England
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.
Grilles in rented homes
Landlords in England must keep rented homes free from serious hazards under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System, which includes fire. A grille that stops a tenant using an escape window can create a hazard, so grilles in rented homes should have keyless internal releases.

Door security gates in Barnes: questions
Do you cover Chiswick as well as Barnes?
Yes. As well as Barnes, we can arrange surveys in nearby Chiswick, Putney and Fulham, and elsewhere in Greater London.
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.
