What is the price of door security gates in Totton?
As a guide, door security gates in Totton cost £714 to £1,554 including VAT (£595 to £1,295 plus VAT) per door, supplied and fitted. The exact figure depends on size, type, finish and locking, and is confirmed in writing after the free 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.
What goes into a door gate
- Can be combined with a letterbox gap or pet clearance where needed
- Additional shoot bolts into the floor and head for wider gates
- Retractable or hinged designs to suit the space beside the door
- Low-profile floor track options to reduce trip hazards
- Locks operable from inside, outside or both
- Powder-coated finishes to match door frames
Fitting in Totton and nearby
Surveys in Totton (SO40) are booked around installer availability. We also cover nearby Southampton (4 miles), Hythe (6 miles) and Eastleigh (7 miles).

This type of grille suits:
- Glazed kitchen and utility doors
- Back and side doors of houses
- Office side entrances
- Flat entrance doors onto communal areas
Questions we will ask at the survey
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.
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.
Planning and safety in England
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.
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 Totton: questions
Do you cover Southampton as well as Totton?
Yes. As well as Totton, we can arrange surveys in nearby Southampton, Hythe and Eastleigh, and elsewhere in Hampshire.
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.
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.
