Fitting in Halesowen and nearby

Halesowen is about 7 miles from Birmingham, the main centre for West Midlands. We can survey and fit across the B63 district and in nearby places such as Brierley Hill and Dudley.

The West Midlands is dominated by red-brick terraces and interwar semis, with dense high streets and a large stock of industrial and trade units.

Typical places for this kind of grille include:

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

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.

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.

Rules that apply in England

England

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.

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.

Door security gates in Halesowen: questions

Do you cover Brierley Hill as well as Halesowen?

Yes. As well as Halesowen, we can arrange surveys in nearby Brierley Hill, Dudley and Stourbridge, and elsewhere in West Midlands.

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.

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 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.
