Consents and safety: England
Grilles across exits in business premises
In workplaces and other non-domestic premises, including the common parts of blocks of flats and HMOs, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep escape routes and emergency exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be unlocked and parked open whenever the building is occupied, and covered in the fire risk assessment.
External grilles and planning
External grilles and shutters on shops and other commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the local council because they change the building's appearance. Many councils' shopfront guides favour internal, open-lattice grilles, particularly in conservation areas.

Front door security gates in Bridport: questions
Which areas near Bridport do you cover?
We can arrange work in Bridport and in nearby Dorchester (14 miles), Yeovil (15 miles) and Weymouth (15 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.
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.
Can I fit a security gate to my flat door?
Usually, with the building owner's permission. Flat entrance doors often form part of a building's fire safety arrangements, so the gate must not obstruct escape or compromise the door.
