What is the price of door security gates in Hamilton?
As a guide, door security gates in Hamilton 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 you can specify

- Locks operable from inside, outside or both
- Additional shoot bolts into the floor and head for wider gates
- Can be combined with a letterbox gap or pet clearance where needed
- Retractable or hinged designs to suit the space beside the door
- Suitable for timber, uPVC, composite and aluminium doors
Fitting in Hamilton and nearby
We can arrange door security gates across Hamilton, the main centre for Lanarkshire, and in nearby towns including Motherwell, Wishaw and East Kilbride.
Lanarkshire mixes the new town of East Kilbride and Cumbernauld with older industrial towns such as Motherwell, Hamilton and Coatbridge.
This type of grille suits:
- Shop back doors and fire exits (with the right arrangements)
- Glazed kitchen and utility doors
- Office side entrances
- Back and side doors of houses
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.
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.
Planning and safety in Scotland
Grilles in rented homes
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the repairing standard, which includes fire safety provisions. Grilles over windows a tenant may need for escape should open from inside without a key.
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 Hamilton: questions
Which areas near Hamilton do you cover?
We can arrange work in Hamilton and in nearby Motherwell (2 miles), Wishaw (5 miles) and East Kilbride (6 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
