Things to decide before you order

Appearance

A plain bar gate in a dark finish is less conspicuous than a heavy lattice.

Permission

In a block of flats, the building owner or managing agent usually needs to agree, and the gate must not compromise the building's fire strategy.

Rules that apply in Scotland

Scotland

Grilles across exits in business premises

In Scotland, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 make the duty holder keep escape routes and exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be open whenever the premises are occupied.

Grilles in rented homes

Private landlords in Scotland must meet the repairing standard, which includes fire safety provisions. Grilles over windows a tenant may need for escape should open from inside without a key.

Front door security gates in Inverurie: questions

Can you survey in Inverurie and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Inverurie, Aberdeen, Stonehaven and elsewhere in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray are booked around installer availability.

Will I still get post?

We can leave a letterbox clearance in the gate or suggest a wall-mounted post box.

Does a front door gate need planning permission?

Gates in front of a house's front door can need planning permission, especially on listed buildings or in conservation areas. Gates behind the door usually do not.

Is a gate better than a stronger door?

They do different jobs. A certified door resists attack on its own; a gate adds a second barrier. Many people choose both.
