Fitting in Nairn and nearby
Nairn is about 15 miles from Inverness, the main centre for Highland. We can survey and fit across the IV12 district and in nearby places such as Inverness and Dingwall.
The Highlands are one of the most sparsely populated parts of the UK, with Inverness as the main centre and many remote homes, holiday lets and small-town shops.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Back and side doors of houses
- Shop back doors and fire exits (with the right arrangements)
- Glazed kitchen and utility doors
- Flat entrance doors onto communal areas
Things to decide before you order
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.
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 Scotland
Grilles across exits in business premises
In Scotland, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 make the duty holder keep escape routes and exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be open whenever the premises are occupied.
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Scotland, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.

Door security gates in Nairn: questions
Can you survey in Nairn and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Nairn, Inverness, Dingwall and elsewhere in Highland are booked around installer availability.
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.
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.
