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

- Locks operable from inside, outside or both
- Can be combined with a letterbox gap or pet clearance where needed
- Suitable for timber, uPVC, composite and aluminium doors
- Steel frames fixed into masonry with anti-tamper fixings
- Low-profile floor track options to reduce trip hazards

Nottinghamshire mixes Nottingham's Victorian terraces and Lace Market warehouses with former mining towns and their high streets.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Office side entrances
- Back and side doors of houses
- Shop back doors and fire exits (with the right arrangements)
- Glazed kitchen and utility doors
Things to decide before you order
Retractable or hinged
Retractable gates need a parking space beside the door for the stack; hinged gates need clear swing space.
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.
Rules that apply 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 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 Retford: questions
Can you survey in Retford and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Retford, Worksop, Gainsborough and elsewhere in Nottinghamshire 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.
