Things to decide before you order

A plain bar gate in a dark finish is less conspicuous than a heavy lattice.
Rules that apply in England
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.
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.

Front door security gates in Isle of Wight: questions
Which towns in Isle of Wight do you cover?
We can arrange work anywhere in Isle of Wight, including Newport, Ryde, Cowes and Sandown.
Will I still get post?
We can leave a letterbox clearance in the gate or suggest a wall-mounted post box.
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.
