What is the price of front door security gates in Devon?

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.
What you can specify
- Lockable from outside with a key and from inside with a thumb-turn or key
- Mesh infill to stop reach-through to the door lock
- Steel frame fixed into the opening
- Powder-coated finishes
- Letterbox clearance where needed
- Low thresholds for level access

Questions we will ask at the survey
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.
Appearance
A plain bar gate in a dark finish is less conspicuous than a heavy lattice.
Planning and safety 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 Devon: questions
Which towns in Devon do you cover?
We can arrange work anywhere in Devon, including Plymouth, Exeter, Paignton, Torquay and Newton Abbot, 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.
