Fitting in Hexham and nearby

Hexham is about 21 miles from Morpeth, the main centre for Northumberland. We can survey and fit across the NE46 district and in nearby places such as Consett and Stanley.

Northumberland is largely rural, with stone-built market towns such as Hexham and Alnwick and terraced former mining towns in the south-east.

Where door security gates are most often used:

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

What to think about first

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.

Consents and safety: England

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 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 Hexham: questions

Do you cover Consett as well as Hexham?

Yes. As well as Hexham, we can arrange surveys in nearby Consett, Stanley and Newcastle upon Tyne, and elsewhere in Northumberland.

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.

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.
