What is the price of door security gates in Prescot?

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
- Can be combined with a letterbox gap or pet clearance where needed
- Steel frames fixed into masonry with anti-tamper fixings
- Suitable for timber, uPVC, composite and aluminium doors
- Additional shoot bolts into the floor and head for wider gates
- Locks operable from inside, outside or both
- Retractable or hinged designs to suit the space beside the door
Fitting in Prescot and nearby
We arrange surveys and fitting in Prescot and across the L34 postcode district, as well as in nearby Huyton (2 miles) and St Helens (3 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Merseyside has Liverpool's Georgian quarter and Victorian terraces, the Wirral's suburbs, and large high-street and dockside commercial areas.
This type of grille suits:
- Shop back doors and fire exits (with the right arrangements)
- Back and side doors of houses
- Office side entrances
- Glazed kitchen and utility doors
Questions we will ask at the survey
Retractable or hinged
Retractable gates need a parking space beside the door for the stack; hinged gates need clear swing space.
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.
Planning and safety 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 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 Prescot: questions
Can you survey in Prescot and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Prescot, Huyton, St Helens and elsewhere in Merseyside are booked around installer availability.
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.
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.
