Post

Leave a letterbox clearance or fit a separate post box.

Consents and safety: Scotland

Scotland

External grilles and planning

External grilles and shutters on commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the council under the Scottish planning system. Councils' shopfront guidance commonly prefers internal, open-mesh security, particularly in conservation areas and town centres.

Grilles in rented homes

Private landlords in Scotland must meet the repairing standard, which includes fire safety provisions. Grilles over windows a tenant may need for escape should open from inside without a key.

Front door security gates in Cumbernauld: questions

Can you survey in Cumbernauld and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Cumbernauld, Airdrie, Coatbridge and elsewhere in Lanarkshire 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.

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.
