Additional shoot bolts into the floor and head for wider gates
Locks operable from inside, outside or both
Powder-coated finishes to match door frames
Can be combined with a letterbox gap or pet clearance where needed

Norfolk is known for flint and brick cottages, Norwich's medieval lanes and listed buildings, and seaside towns with seasonal properties.

Where door security gates are most often used:

Glazed kitchen and utility doors
Back and side doors of houses
Flat entrance doors onto communal areas
Office side entrances

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.

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.

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.

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 Diss: questions

Do you cover Wymondham as well as Diss?

Yes. As well as Diss, we can arrange surveys in nearby Wymondham, Stowmarket and Thetford, and elsewhere in Norfolk.

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.
