Door security gates in Bootle: what will it cost?
As a guide, door security gates in Bootle 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.
Choices you can make
- Retractable or hinged designs to suit the space beside the door
- Steel frames fixed into masonry with anti-tamper fixings
- Additional shoot bolts into the floor and head for wider gates
- Suitable for timber, uPVC, composite and aluminium doors
- Powder-coated finishes to match door frames
- Can be combined with a letterbox gap or pet clearance where needed

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.
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.
What the rules say in England
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.
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 Bootle: questions
Can you survey in Bootle and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Bootle, Litherland, Wallasey and elsewhere in Merseyside are booked around installer availability.
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.
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.
