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
- Locks operable from inside, outside or both
- Steel frames fixed into masonry with anti-tamper fixings
- Low-profile floor track options to reduce trip hazards
- Suitable for timber, uPVC, composite and aluminium doors
- Powder-coated finishes to match door frames
- Retractable or hinged designs to suit the space beside the door
Fitting in Wembley and nearby
We arrange surveys and fitting in Wembley and across the HA0 postcode district, as well as in nearby Harrow (2 miles) and Greenford (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.
Where door security gates are most often used:
- Back and side doors of houses
- Shop back doors and fire exits (with the right arrangements)
- Flat entrance doors onto communal areas
- Office side entrances
What to think about first
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.
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 Wembley: questions
Do you cover Harrow as well as Wembley?
Yes. As well as Wembley, we can arrange surveys in nearby Harrow, Greenford and Willesden, and elsewhere in Greater London.
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.
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.
