Door security gates in Cardiff

What is the price of door security gates in Cardiff?

As a guide, door security gates in Cardiff 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.

Choices you can make

Powder-coated finishes to match door frames
Retractable or hinged designs to suit the space beside the door
Additional shoot bolts into the floor and head for wider gates
Locks operable from inside, outside or both
Suitable for timber, uPVC, composite and aluminium doors
Steel frames fixed into masonry with anti-tamper fixings

Fitting in Cardiff and nearby

Surveys in Cardiff (CF10) are booked around installer availability, as they are in nearby Penarth (3 miles) and Caerphilly (7 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:

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

Questions we will ask at the survey

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.

Floor track

A full track gives the most rigid gate. If the doorway is a busy route or has level access, ask for a low-profile or recessed track.

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 Cardiff: questions

Can you survey in Cardiff and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Cardiff, Penarth, Caerphilly and elsewhere in South Glamorgan are booked around 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.

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.
