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
- Suitable for timber, uPVC, composite and aluminium doors
- Locks operable from inside, outside or both
- Can be combined with a letterbox gap or pet clearance where needed
- Steel frames fixed into masonry with anti-tamper fixings
- Additional shoot bolts into the floor and head for wider gates
- Powder-coated finishes to match door frames

Getting the right door gate for your building
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.
Retractable or hinged
Retractable gates need a parking space beside the door for the stack; hinged gates need clear swing space.
What the rules say in 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 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 Spalding: questions
Do you cover Boston as well as Spalding?
Yes. As well as Spalding, we can arrange surveys in nearby Boston, Peterborough and Wisbech, and elsewhere in Lincolnshire.
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.
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.
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.
