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

Mesh infill to stop reach-through to the door lock
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
Hinged or retractable designs
Letterbox clearance where needed

Fitting in Stratford and nearby

We arrange surveys and fitting in Stratford and across the E15 postcode district, as well as in nearby Bow (1 mile) and Canning Town (2 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

Common openings for front door security gates:

Flat entrance doors on landings and walkways
Recessed front doors
Houses with doors out of sight of the street
Empty homes between occupants

Getting the right front door gate for your building

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.

Escape

Choose a gate that opens quickly from inside without hunting for a key.

What the rules say in England

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.

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.

Front door security gates in Stratford: questions

Can you survey in Stratford and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Stratford, Bow, Canning Town and elsewhere in Greater London are booked around installer availability.

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.

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.
