- Steel frame fixed into the opening
- Powder-coated finishes
- Mesh infill to stop reach-through to the door lock
- Lockable from outside with a key and from inside with a thumb-turn or key

Getting the right front door gate for your building
Post
Leave a letterbox clearance or fit a separate post box.
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.
What the rules say in Wales
Grilles across exits in business premises
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, including to the common parts of blocks of flats and HMOs. The responsible person must keep escape routes and exits available and easy to open while people are present, so a grille across an exit should be open whenever the premises are occupied.
Grilles in rented homes
Under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016, landlords must keep dwellings fit for human habitation, which takes fire hazards into account. Grilles over windows a contract-holder may need for escape should open from inside without a key.
