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

West Yorkshire is known for stone and brick terraces, back-to-backs in Leeds and Bradford, converted mills, and busy city and town centres.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Shop back doors and fire exits (with the right arrangements)
- Office side entrances
- Flat entrance doors onto communal areas
- 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.
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.
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.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings need listed building consent for works that affect their character, which can include internal grilles and their fixings. In conservation areas, councils look closely at anything fitted to the outside. We recommend speaking to the council's conservation officer before ordering.

Door security gates in Castleford: questions
Which areas near Castleford do you cover?
We can arrange work in Castleford and in nearby Pontefract (3 miles), Wakefield (6 miles) and Leeds (9 miles). Dates depend on 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.
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.
