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
- Powder-coated finishes
- Steel frame fixed into the opening
- Low thresholds for level access
- Letterbox clearance where needed
- Mesh infill to stop reach-through to the door lock
- Clearances for door closers and spy-holes

Things to decide before you order
Appearance
A plain bar gate in a dark finish is less conspicuous than a heavy lattice.
Post
Leave a letterbox clearance or fit a separate post box.
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 Wallington: questions
Which areas near Wallington do you cover?
We can arrange work in Wallington and in nearby Carshalton (1 mile), Sutton (2 miles) and South Croydon (3 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Can I fit a security gate to my flat door?
Usually, with the building owner's permission. Flat entrance doors often form part of a building's fire safety arrangements, so the gate must not obstruct escape or compromise the door.
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.
