Door security gates in Barry

What is the price of door security gates in Barry?

As a guide, door security gates in Barry 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.

What goes into a door gate

Retractable or hinged designs to suit the space beside the door
Additional shoot bolts into the floor and head for wider gates
Can be combined with a letterbox gap or pet clearance where needed
Powder-coated finishes to match door frames
Suitable for timber, uPVC, composite and aluminium doors

Fitting in Barry and nearby

Surveys in Barry (CF62) are booked around installer availability. We also cover nearby Penarth (5 miles), Cardiff (7 miles) and Llantwit Major (9 miles).

South Glamorgan centres on Cardiff's Victorian terraces, arcades and city-centre offices, with Barry and Penarth along the coast.

This type of grille suits:

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

Questions we will ask at the survey

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.

Planning and safety in Wales

Grilles inside the glass

A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Wales, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent for works affecting their character, decided by the local planning authority with Cadw's involvement where required. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes. Check with the council before ordering.

Door security gates in Barry: questions

Do you cover Penarth as well as Barry?

Yes. As well as Barry, we can arrange surveys in nearby Penarth, Cardiff and Llantwit Major, and elsewhere in South Glamorgan.

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.

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.
