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
- Powder-coated finishes
- Mesh infill to stop reach-through to the door lock
- Clearances for door closers and spy-holes
- Lockable from outside with a key and from inside with a thumb-turn or key
- Letterbox clearance where needed
- Low thresholds for level access

Things to decide before you order
Escape

Appearance
A plain bar gate in a dark finish is less conspicuous than a heavy lattice.
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 Cowes: questions
Do you cover Newport as well as Cowes?
Yes. As well as Cowes, we can arrange surveys in nearby Newport, Ryde and Gosport, and elsewhere in Isle of Wight.
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.
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.
