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
- Powder-coated finishes
- Letterbox clearance where needed
- Low thresholds for level access
- Lockable from outside with a key and from inside with a thumb-turn or key
- Steel frame fixed into the opening

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.
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.
What the rules say 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 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 Leigh: questions
Which areas near Leigh do you cover?
We can arrange work in Leigh and in nearby Atherton (2 miles), Tyldesley (2 miles) and Golborne (3 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.
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.
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.
