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.

Choices you can make

Retractable or hinged designs to suit the space beside the door
Powder-coated finishes to match door frames
Locks operable from inside, outside or both
Steel frames fixed into masonry with anti-tamper fixings
Additional shoot bolts into the floor and head for wider gates
Low-profile floor track options to reduce trip hazards

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.

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.

Rules that apply in England

England

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.

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.

Door security gates in Gainsborough: questions

Which areas near Gainsborough do you cover?

We can arrange work in Gainsborough and in nearby Retford (8 miles), Scunthorpe (14 miles) and Lincoln (14 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 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.
