Fitting in Hemel Hempstead and nearby
Hemel Hempstead is about 7 miles from Watford, the main centre for Hertfordshire. We can survey and fit across the HP3 district and in nearby places such as Berkhamsted and St Albans.
Hertfordshire mixes the garden cities of Letchworth and Welwyn, post-war new towns such as Stevenage, and historic centres like St Albans.
This type of grille suits:
- Shop back doors and fire exits (with the right arrangements)
- Office side entrances
- Glazed kitchen and utility doors
- Back and side doors of houses
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.
Retractable or hinged
Retractable gates need a parking space beside the door for the stack; hinged gates need clear swing space.
Planning and safety in England
Grilles in rented homes
Landlords in England must keep rented homes free from serious hazards under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System, which includes fire. A grille that stops a tenant using an escape window can create a hazard, so grilles in rented homes should have keyless internal releases.
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 Hemel Hempstead: questions
Which areas near Hemel Hempstead do you cover?
We can arrange work in Hemel Hempstead and in nearby Berkhamsted (5 miles), St Albans (5 miles) and Harpenden (6 miles). Dates depend on 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.
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.
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.
