Door security gates in Perth: what will it cost?
Our guide range for door security gates in Perth is £714 to £1,554 including VAT (£595 to £1,295 plus VAT) per door, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.
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
- 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
Fitting in Perth and nearby
We arrange surveys and fitting across Perth and the PH1 postcode district, and in nearby Blairgowrie (14 miles), Crieff (16 miles) and Cupar.
Perth and Kinross mixes Perth's Georgian and Victorian centre with stone-built Highland Perthshire towns such as Pitlochry and Crieff.
Common openings for door security gates:
- Shop back doors and fire exits (with the right arrangements)
- Flat entrance doors onto communal areas
- Glazed kitchen and utility doors
- Back and side doors of houses
Getting the right door gate for your building
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.
What the rules say in Scotland
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Scotland, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.
Grilles in rented homes
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the repairing standard, which includes fire safety provisions. Grilles over windows a tenant may need for escape should open from inside without a key.

Door security gates in Perth: questions
Do you cover Blairgowrie as well as Perth?
Yes. As well as Perth, we can arrange surveys in nearby Blairgowrie, Crieff and Cupar, and elsewhere in Perth and Kinross.
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.
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.
