Can be combined with a letterbox gap or pet clearance where needed

Fitting in Portsmouth and nearby

Surveys in Portsmouth (PO5) are booked around installer availability. We also cover nearby Gosport (2 miles), Fareham (5 miles) and Ryde (6 miles).

Hampshire runs from Portsmouth's dense Victorian terraces and Southampton's post-war centre to market towns such as Winchester with large conservation areas.

This type of grille suits:

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

Questions we will ask at the survey

Retractable or hinged

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

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.

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.

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.

Door security gates in Portsmouth: questions

Can you survey in Portsmouth and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Portsmouth, Gosport, Fareham and elsewhere in Hampshire are booked around installer availability.

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 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.

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.
