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

Powder-coated finishes to match door frames
Low-profile floor track options to reduce trip hazards
Additional shoot bolts into the floor and head for wider gates
Steel frames fixed into masonry with anti-tamper fixings
Retractable or hinged designs to suit the space beside the door
Locks operable from inside, outside or both

Fitting in Banbury and nearby

Where door security gates are most often used:

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

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.

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 Banbury: questions

Do you cover Bicester as well as Banbury?

Yes. As well as Banbury, we can arrange surveys in nearby Bicester, Daventry and Leamington Spa, and elsewhere in Oxfordshire.

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.

How do I lock a door gate?

With a key-operated lock box on the closing edge, plus shoot bolts on wider gates. Thumb-turn and quick-release options are available on the inside face.

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.
