Door security gates in Swansea

Door security gates in Swansea: what will it cost?

Our guide range for door security gates in Swansea is £714 to £1,554 including VAT (£595 to £1,295 plus VAT) per door, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.

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

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

Getting the right door gate for your building

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.

What the rules say in Wales

Wales

Grilles across exits in business premises

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, including to the common parts of blocks of flats and HMOs. The responsible person must keep escape routes and exits available and easy to open while people are present, so a grille across an exit should be open whenever the premises are occupied.

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 Swansea: questions

Can you survey in Swansea and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Swansea, Gorseinon, Port Talbot and elsewhere in West Glamorgan are booked around installer availability.

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.

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.

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.
