Door security gates in Wigan

What is the price of door security gates in Wigan?

Budget £714 to £1,554 including VAT (£595 to £1,295 plus VAT) per door for door security gates in Wigan, supplied and fitted. Size, number of leaves, colour and access all move the price, which is fixed in writing after the survey.

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.

Fitting in Wigan and nearby

Wigan is about 17 miles from Manchester, the main centre for Greater Manchester. We can survey and fit across the WN1 district and in nearby places such as Hindley and Ashton-in-Makerfield.

Greater Manchester is dominated by red-brick terraces and mill-town centres, with converted mills, modern city-centre flats and large retail parks.

This type of grille suits:

Glazed kitchen and utility doors
Shop back doors and fire exits (with the right arrangements)
Office side entrances
Flat entrance doors onto communal areas

Questions we will ask at the survey

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.

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.

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 Wigan: questions

Do you cover Hindley as well as Wigan?

Yes. As well as Wigan, we can arrange surveys in nearby Hindley, Ashton-in-Makerfield and Westhoughton, and elsewhere in Greater Manchester.

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.

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.
