Fitting in Litherland and nearby

Litherland is about 4 miles from Liverpool, the main centre for Merseyside. We can survey and fit across the L21 district and in nearby places such as Bootle and Maghull.

Where door security gates are most often used:

Office side entrances
Shop back doors and fire exits (with the right arrangements)
Glazed kitchen and utility doors
Back and side doors of houses

What to think about first

Retractable or hinged

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

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.

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.

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.

Door security gates in Litherland: questions

Which areas near Litherland do you cover?

We can arrange work in Litherland and in nearby Bootle (1 mile), Maghull (4 miles) and Liverpool (4 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

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.
