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 England

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 Warrington: questions

Do you cover Newton-le-Willows as well as Warrington?

Yes. As well as Warrington, we can arrange surveys in nearby Newton-le-Willows, Golborne and Widnes, and elsewhere in Cheshire.

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.

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.

Will I still get post?

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