A front door security gate is a steel gate fitted in front of or behind a front or flat entrance door. It adds a second locked barrier that has to be defeated after the door, and most designs can be locked from outside when you leave as well as from inside at night.
What you can specify
- Low thresholds for level access
- Letterbox clearance where needed
- Hinged or retractable designs
- Clearances for door closers and spy-holes
- Mesh infill to stop reach-through to the door lock
- Powder-coated finishes

Things to decide before you order
Post
Leave a letterbox clearance or fit a separate post box.
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
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent for works affecting their character, decided by the council, with Historic Environment Scotland consulted on some cases. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes. Check with the council before ordering.
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 Oban: questions
Do you cover Fort William as well as Oban?
Yes. As well as Oban, we can arrange surveys in nearby Fort William, Dunoon and Helensburgh, and elsewhere in Argyll and Bute.
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.
