Door security gates in Hounslow: what will it cost?
Most door security gates in Hounslow fall within £714 to £1,554 including VAT (£595 to £1,295 plus VAT) per door for supply and fitting. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey, before anything is ordered.
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.

- Locks operable from inside, outside or both
- Additional shoot bolts into the floor and head for wider gates
- Retractable or hinged designs to suit the space beside the door

Fitting in Hounslow and nearby
Hounslow is about 10 miles from Central London, the main centre for Greater London. We can survey and fit across the TW3 district and in nearby places such as Isleworth and Heston.
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.
Common openings for door security gates:
- Glazed kitchen and utility doors
- Shop back doors and fire exits (with the right arrangements)
- Flat entrance doors onto communal areas
- Back and side doors of houses
Getting the right door gate for your building
Retractable or hinged
Retractable gates need a parking space beside the door for the stack; hinged gates need clear swing space.
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.
What the rules say in England
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.
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.

Door security gates in Hounslow: questions
Can you survey in Hounslow and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Hounslow, Isleworth, Heston and elsewhere in Greater London 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.
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.
