Door security gates in Chichester

What is the price of door security gates in Chichester?

Budget £714 to £1,554 including VAT (£595 to £1,295 plus VAT) per door for door security gates in Chichester, supplied and fitted. Size, number of leaves, colour and access all move the price, which is fixed in writing after the 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
Powder-coated finishes to match door frames
Additional shoot bolts into the floor and head for wider gates
Steel frames fixed into masonry with anti-tamper fixings
Locks operable from inside, outside or both
Low-profile floor track options to reduce trip hazards

Fitting in Chichester and nearby

Surveys in Chichester (PO19) are booked around installer availability. We also cover nearby Bognor Regis (6 miles), Havant (9 miles) and Littlehampton (11 miles).

West Sussex combines Crawley's new-town estates and commercial areas with coastal towns such as Worthing and historic Chichester.

This type of grille suits:

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

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.

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.

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.

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 Chichester: questions

Can you survey in Chichester and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Chichester, Bognor Regis, Havant and elsewhere in West Sussex are booked around installer availability.

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.

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.
