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
- Hinged or retractable designs
- Mesh infill to stop reach-through to the door lock
- Clearances for door closers and spy-holes
- Lockable from outside with a key and from inside with a thumb-turn or key
- Steel frame fixed into the opening
- Powder-coated finishes

Getting the right front door gate for your building
Appearance
A plain bar gate in a dark finish is less conspicuous than a heavy lattice.
Escape
Choose a gate that opens quickly from inside without hunting for a key.
What the rules say in England
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.
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.

Front door security gates in Maldon: questions
Can you survey in Maldon and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Maldon, Witham, Chelmsford and elsewhere in Essex are booked around installer availability.
Will I still get post?
We can leave a letterbox clearance in the gate or suggest a wall-mounted post box.
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.
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.
