Front door security gates in Wokingham: what will it cost?
Most front door security gates in Wokingham fall within £834 to £1,794 including VAT (£695 to £1,495 plus VAT) per door for supply and fitting. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey, before anything is ordered.
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.

- Steel frame fixed into the opening
- Mesh infill to stop reach-through to the door lock

Getting the right front door gate for your building
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.
Post
Leave a letterbox clearance or fit a separate post box.
What the rules say in England
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.
Grilles in rented homes
Landlords in England must keep rented homes free from serious hazards under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System, which includes fire. A grille that stops a tenant using an escape window can create a hazard, so grilles in rented homes should have keyless internal releases.

Front door security gates in Wokingham: questions
Which areas near Wokingham do you cover?
We can arrange work in Wokingham and in nearby Crowthorne (3 miles), Bracknell (4 miles) and Yateley (5 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Will I still get post?
We can leave a letterbox clearance in the gate or suggest a wall-mounted post box.
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.
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.
