Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Glazed kitchen and utility doors
- Office side entrances
- Back and side doors of houses
- Shop back doors and fire exits (with the right arrangements)
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.
Retractable or hinged
Retractable gates need a parking space beside the door for the stack; hinged gates need clear swing space.
Rules that apply in England
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.
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 Morpeth: questions
Do you cover Ashington as well as Morpeth?
Yes. As well as Morpeth, we can arrange surveys in nearby Ashington, Cramlington and Blyth, and elsewhere in Northumberland.
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.
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.
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.
