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 goes into a front door gate
- Letterbox clearance where needed
- Lockable from outside with a key and from inside with a thumb-turn or key
- Low thresholds for level access
- Hinged or retractable designs
- Steel frame fixed into the opening
- Mesh infill to stop reach-through to the door lock

Things to decide before you order
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.
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.
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 Salford: questions
Can you survey in Salford and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Salford, Eccles, Manchester and elsewhere in Greater Manchester are booked around 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.
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.
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.
