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
- Suitable for timber, uPVC, composite and aluminium doors
- Locks operable from inside, outside or both
- Can be combined with a letterbox gap or pet clearance where needed
- Powder-coated finishes to match door frames
- Additional shoot bolts into the floor and head for wider gates
- Retractable or hinged designs to suit the space beside the door

Hampshire runs from Portsmouth's dense Victorian terraces and Southampton's post-war centre to market towns such as Winchester with large conservation areas.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Glazed kitchen and utility doors
- Office side entrances
- Back and side doors of houses
- Shop back doors and fire exits (with the right arrangements)
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.
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.
Rules that apply in England
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 Winchester: questions
Which areas near Winchester do you cover?
We can arrange work in Winchester and in nearby Eastleigh (7 miles), Southampton (12 miles) and Totton (13 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
