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

Steel frames fixed into masonry with anti-tamper fixings
Can be combined with a letterbox gap or pet clearance where needed
Powder-coated finishes to match door frames
Low-profile floor track options to reduce trip hazards
Locks operable from inside, outside or both
Additional shoot bolts into the floor and head for wider gates

Fitting in Preston and nearby

We arrange surveys and fitting across Preston and the PR1 postcode district, and in nearby Leyland (5 miles), Chorley (9 miles) and Blackburn.

Lancashire is known for stone and red-brick terraces in its mill towns, Victorian seaside resorts such as Blackpool, and historic Lancaster.

This type of grille suits:

Back and side doors of houses
Office side entrances
Flat entrance doors onto communal areas
Glazed kitchen and utility doors

Questions we will ask at the survey

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.

Retractable or hinged

Retractable gates need a parking space beside the door for the stack; hinged gates need clear swing space.

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.

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 Preston: questions

Do you cover Leyland as well as Preston?

Yes. As well as Preston, we can arrange surveys in nearby Leyland, Chorley and Blackburn, and elsewhere in Lancashire.

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.

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.
