Front door security gates in County Antrim: questions
Which towns in County Antrim do you cover?
We can arrange work anywhere in County Antrim, including Antrim, Ballymena, Ballymoney, Belfast and Carrickfergus, and in other towns across the area.
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.
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.
