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
- Low thresholds for level access
- Letterbox clearance where needed
- Lockable from outside with a key and from inside with a thumb-turn or key
- Clearances for door closers and spy-holes
- Hinged or retractable designs
- Mesh infill to stop reach-through to the door lock

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.
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 Barking: questions

Yes. As well as Barking, we can arrange surveys in nearby Ilford, Becontree and Thamesmead, and elsewhere in Greater London.
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.
Will I still get post?

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.
