Front door security gates in Gravesend: what will it cost?
Budget £834 to £1,794 including VAT (£695 to £1,495 plus VAT) per door for front door security gates in Gravesend, supplied and fitted. Size, number of leaves, colour and access all move the price, which is fixed in writing after the survey.
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
- Letterbox clearance where needed
- Low thresholds for level access
- Mesh infill to stop reach-through to the door lock
- Clearances for door closers and spy-holes
- Hinged or retractable designs
- Lockable from outside with a key and from inside with a thumb-turn or key

Getting the right front door gate for your building
Post
Leave a letterbox clearance or fit a separate post box.
Appearance
A plain bar gate in a dark finish is less conspicuous than a heavy lattice.
What the rules say in England
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.
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 Gravesend: questions
Do you cover Grays as well as Gravesend?
Yes. As well as Gravesend, we can arrange surveys in nearby Grays, Strood and South Ockendon, and elsewhere in Kent.
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.
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.
