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.

Steel frames fixed into masonry with anti-tamper fixings
Retractable or hinged designs to suit the space beside the door
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

Fitting in Oakham and nearby

We can arrange door security gates across Oakham, the main centre for Rutland, and in nearby towns including Uppingham, Melton Mowbray and Stamford.

Rutland is England's smallest county, with stone-built market towns at Oakham and Uppingham and many listed and conservation-area buildings.

Where door security gates are most often used:

Office side entrances
Shop back doors and fire exits (with the right arrangements)
Flat entrance doors onto communal areas
Glazed kitchen and utility doors

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.

Retractable or hinged

Retractable gates need a parking space beside the door for the stack; hinged gates need clear swing space.

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 Oakham: questions

Which areas near Oakham do you cover?

We can arrange work in Oakham and in nearby Uppingham (6 miles), Melton Mowbray (9 miles) and Stamford (10 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

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.
