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.

Fitting in Willesden and nearby
Willesden is about 5 miles from Central London, the main centre for Greater London. We can survey and fit across the NW10 district and in nearby places such as Cricklewood and Notting Hill.
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.
This type of grille suits:
- Houses with doors out of sight of the street
- Empty homes between occupants
- Recessed front doors
- Flat entrance doors on landings and walkways
Questions we will ask at the survey
Appearance
A plain bar gate in a dark finish is less conspicuous than a heavy lattice.
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.
Planning and safety in 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 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.
