- Mesh infill to stop reach-through to the door lock
- Powder-coated finishes
- Clearances for door closers and spy-holes
- Lockable from outside with a key and from inside with a thumb-turn or key

- Letterbox clearance where needed

Consents and safety: 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 Saltcoats: questions
Can you survey in Saltcoats and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Saltcoats, Irvine, Troon and elsewhere in Ayrshire are booked around installer availability.
Can the gate be locked from outside?
Yes. Front door gates normally lock with a key from outside and a thumb-turn or key from inside.
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.
Will I still get post?
We can leave a letterbox clearance in the gate or suggest a wall-mounted post box.
