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

Retractable or hinged designs to suit the space beside the door
Locks operable from inside, outside or both
Additional shoot bolts into the floor and head for wider gates
Suitable for timber, uPVC, composite and aluminium doors
Steel frames fixed into masonry with anti-tamper fixings
Powder-coated finishes to match door frames

Fitting in Barnet and nearby

We arrange surveys and fitting in Barnet and across the EN5 postcode district, as well as in nearby Potters Bar (3 miles) and Borehamwood (3 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

London's buildings range from Victorian and Edwardian terraces and mansion blocks to post-war estates, with long high streets of ground-floor shops below flats.

Typical places for this kind of grille include:

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

Things to decide before you order

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.

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.

Rules that apply in England

England

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.

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.

Door security gates in Barnet: questions

Can you survey in Barnet and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Barnet, Potters Bar, Borehamwood and elsewhere in Greater London 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.

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.

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.
