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

London's buildings range from Victorian and Edwardian terraces and mansion blocks to post-war estates, with long high streets of ground-floor shops below flats.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Recessed front doors
- Empty homes between occupants
- Flat entrance doors on landings and walkways
- Houses with doors out of sight of the street
Things to decide before you order
Escape
Choose a gate that opens quickly from inside without hunting for a key.
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.
Rules that apply 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 Richmond: questions
Can you survey in Richmond and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Richmond, Isleworth, Hounslow 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.
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.
