- Suitable for timber, uPVC, composite and aluminium doors
- Retractable or hinged designs to suit the space beside the door

Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Flat entrance doors onto communal areas
- Glazed kitchen and utility doors
- Back and side doors of houses
- Shop back doors and fire exits (with the right arrangements)
Things to decide before you order
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.
Retractable or hinged
Retractable gates need a parking space beside the door for the stack; hinged gates need clear swing space.
Rules that apply in 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.
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 Manchester: questions
Do you cover Salford as well as Manchester?
Yes. As well as Manchester, we can arrange surveys in nearby Salford, Failsworth and Droylsden, and elsewhere in Greater Manchester.
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.
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.
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.
