Surrey is mostly suburban and commuter housing, from interwar semis to large detached homes, with busy town centres such as Guildford and Woking.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Glazed kitchen and utility doors
- Office side entrances
- Shop back doors and fire exits (with the right arrangements)
- Back and side doors of houses
Things to decide before you order
Retractable or hinged
Retractable gates need a parking space beside the door for the stack; hinged gates need clear swing space.
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.
Rules that apply in England
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 across exits in business premises
In workplaces and other non-domestic premises, including the common parts of blocks of flats and HMOs, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep escape routes and emergency exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be unlocked and parked open whenever the building is occupied, and covered in the fire risk assessment.

Door security gates in Leatherhead: questions
Can you survey in Leatherhead and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Leatherhead, Epsom, Ewell and elsewhere in Surrey are booked around 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 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.
