Front door security gates in Mitcham: what will it cost?

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
- Powder-coated finishes
- Steel frame fixed into the opening
- 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
- Low thresholds for level access
- Letterbox clearance where needed

- Flat entrance doors on landings and walkways
- Empty homes between occupants
Getting the right front door gate for your building
Post
Leave a letterbox clearance or fit a separate post box.
Appearance
A plain bar gate in a dark finish is less conspicuous than a heavy lattice.
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.
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 Mitcham: questions
Can you survey in Mitcham and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Mitcham, Morden, Wimbledon and elsewhere in Greater London 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 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.
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.
