Fitting in Caernarfon and nearby

Caernarfon is about 9 miles from Bangor, Gwynedd, the main centre for Gwynedd. We can survey and fit across the LL55 district and in nearby places such as Bangor and Pwllheli.

North-west Wales is known for slate and stone terraces in quarry and harbour towns, university buildings in Bangor and many seasonal holiday homes.

Typical places for this kind of grille include:

Back and side doors of houses
Office side entrances
Shop back doors and fire exits (with the right arrangements)
Flat entrance doors onto communal areas

Things to decide before you order

Retractable or hinged

Retractable gates need a parking space beside the door for the stack; hinged gates need clear swing space.

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.

Rules that apply in Wales

Wales

Grilles inside the glass

A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Wales, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent for works affecting their character, decided by the local planning authority with Cadw's involvement where required. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes. Check with the council before ordering.

Door security gates in Caernarfon: questions

Can you survey in Caernarfon and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Caernarfon, Bangor, Pwllheli and elsewhere in Gwynedd are booked around installer availability.

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.

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.

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.
