Front door security gates in Carlisle: what will it cost?
As a guide, front door security gates in Carlisle cost £834 to £1,794 including VAT (£695 to £1,495 plus VAT) per door, supplied and fitted. The exact figure depends on size, type, finish and locking, and is confirmed in writing after the free survey.
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
- Lockable from outside with a key and from inside with a thumb-turn or key
- Hinged or retractable designs
- Clearances for door closers and spy-holes
- Powder-coated finishes
- Mesh infill to stop reach-through to the door lock
- Low thresholds for level access

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.

Yes. As well as Carlisle, we can arrange surveys in nearby Penrith, Workington and Hexham, and elsewhere in Cumbria.

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