Door security gates in Weston-super-Mare

How much should I budget for door security gates in Weston-super-Mare?

As a guide, door security gates in Weston-super-Mare 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 Weston-super-Mare and nearby

Weston-super-Mare is about 24 miles from Taunton, the main centre for Somerset. We can survey and fit across the BS23 district and in nearby places such as Burnham-on-Sea and Clevedon.

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:

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

What to think about first

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.

Retractable or hinged

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

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.

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.

Door security gates in Weston-super-Mare: questions

Do you cover Burnham-on-Sea as well as Weston-super-Mare?

Yes. As well as Weston-super-Mare, we can arrange surveys in nearby Burnham-on-Sea, Clevedon and Nailsea, and elsewhere in Somerset.

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 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.
