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.
Choices you can make
- Clearances for door closers and spy-holes
- Mesh infill to stop reach-through to the door lock
- Hinged or retractable designs
- Letterbox clearance where needed
- Powder-coated finishes
- Steel frame fixed into the opening

Appearance
A plain bar gate in a dark finish is less conspicuous than a heavy lattice.
Escape
Choose a gate that opens quickly from inside without hunting for a key.
What the rules say in 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.
External grilles and planning
External grilles and shutters on commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the council under the Scottish planning system. Councils' shopfront guidance commonly prefers internal, open-mesh security, particularly in conservation areas and town centres.
