How much do door security gates cost in Liverpool?
As a guide, door security gates in Liverpool 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
- Steel frames fixed into masonry with anti-tamper fixings
- Powder-coated finishes to match door frames
- Suitable for timber, uPVC, composite and aluminium doors
- Retractable or hinged designs to suit the space beside the door
- Additional shoot bolts into the floor and head for wider gates
- Locks operable from inside, outside or both
Fitting in Liverpool and nearby
We arrange surveys and fitting across Liverpool and the L1 postcode district, and in nearby Birkenhead (2 miles), Wallasey (4 miles) and Litherland.
Merseyside has Liverpool's Georgian quarter and Victorian terraces, the Wirral's suburbs, and large high-street and dockside commercial areas.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Shop back doors and fire exits (with the right arrangements)
- Office side entrances
- Flat entrance doors onto communal areas
- Glazed kitchen and utility doors
Things to decide before you order
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.
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.
Rules that apply 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 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 Liverpool: questions
Do you cover Birkenhead as well as Liverpool?
Yes. As well as Liverpool, we can arrange surveys in nearby Birkenhead, Wallasey and Litherland, and elsewhere in Merseyside.
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.
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.
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.
