How much do front door security gates cost in Blackheath?
As a guide, front door security gates in Blackheath cost £834 to £1,794 including VAT (£695 to £1,495 plus VAT) per door, supplied and fitted. The exact figure depends on size, type, finish and locking, and is confirmed in writing after the free survey.
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
- Clearances for door closers and spy-holes
- Letterbox clearance where needed
- 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
- Powder-coated finishes
- Low thresholds for level access

- Houses with doors out of sight of the street
- Empty homes between occupants
- Flat entrance doors on landings and walkways
- Ground-floor flats
Things to decide before you order
Post
Leave a letterbox clearance or fit a separate post box.
Escape
Choose a gate that opens quickly from inside without hunting for a key.
Rules that apply in England
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.
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 Blackheath: questions
Can you survey in Blackheath and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Blackheath, Greenwich, Catford and elsewhere in Greater London are booked around installer availability.
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.
Will I still get post?
We can leave a letterbox clearance in the gate or suggest a wall-mounted post box.
Does a front door gate need planning permission?
Gates in front of a house's front door can need planning permission, especially on listed buildings or in conservation areas. Gates behind the door usually do not.
