Door security gates in Taunton

How much should I budget for door security gates in Taunton?

As a guide, door security gates in Taunton cost £714 to £1,554 including VAT (£595 to £1,295 plus VAT) per door, supplied and fitted. The exact figure depends on size, type, finish and locking, and is confirmed in writing after the free survey.

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.

Fitting in Taunton and nearby

We can arrange door security gates across Taunton, the main centre for Somerset, and in nearby towns including Bridgwater, Burnham-on-Sea and Tiverton.

Somerset ranges from Bath's Georgian stone terraces, almost all within a World Heritage Site, to Weston-super-Mare's seaside streets and Taunton's town centre.

Where door security gates are most often used:

Shop back doors and fire exits (with the right arrangements)
Back and side doors of houses
Office side entrances
Flat entrance doors onto communal areas

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.

Fire exits

On business premises a gate across an exit must not obstruct escape while anyone is inside. We discuss how it will be managed before recommending one.

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 Taunton: questions

Which areas near Taunton do you cover?

We can arrange work in Taunton and in nearby Bridgwater (9 miles), Burnham-on-Sea (16 miles) and Tiverton (19 miles). Dates depend on 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.

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.
