- Hinged or retractable designs
- Powder-coated finishes
- Clearances for door closers and spy-holes

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 across exits in business premises
In workplaces and other non-domestic premises, including the common parts of blocks of flats and HMOs, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep escape routes and emergency exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be unlocked and parked open whenever the building is occupied, and covered in the fire risk assessment.
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 Southall: questions
Which areas near Southall do you cover?
We can arrange work in Southall and in nearby Greenford (2 miles), Heston (2 miles) and Hayes (2 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Will I still get post?
We can leave a letterbox clearance in the gate or suggest a wall-mounted post box.
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.
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.
