Budget £714 to £1,554 including VAT (£595 to £1,295 plus VAT) per door for door security gates in Loughborough, supplied and fitted. Size, number of leaves, colour and access all move the price, which is fixed in writing after the 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.

Fitting in Loughborough and nearby

Surveys in Loughborough (LE11) are booked around installer availability. We also cover nearby Coalville (8 miles), Leicester (9 miles) and Long Eaton (10 miles).

Leicestershire mixes Leicester's Victorian terraces and busy retail streets with market towns such as Loughborough and Melton Mowbray.

Typical places for this kind of grille include:

Flat entrance doors onto communal areas
Back and side doors of houses
Shop back doors and fire exits (with the right arrangements)
Office side entrances

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

England

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 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.

Door security gates in Loughborough: questions

Which areas near Loughborough do you cover?

We can arrange work in Loughborough and in nearby Coalville (8 miles), Leicester (9 miles) and Long Eaton (10 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.

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.
