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.

Fitting in Nelson and nearby
Nelson is about 21 miles from Preston, the main centre for Lancashire. We can survey and fit across the BB9 district and in nearby places such as Colne and Burnley.

Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Houses with doors out of sight of the street
- Ground-floor flats
- Empty homes between occupants
- Recessed front doors
Things to decide before you order
Escape
Choose a gate that opens quickly from inside without hunting for a key.
Post
Leave a letterbox clearance or fit a separate post box.
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.
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.

Front door security gates in Nelson: questions
Can you survey in Nelson and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Nelson, Colne, Burnley and elsewhere in Lancashire 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.
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.
