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
- Hinged or retractable designs
- Low thresholds for level access
- Powder-coated finishes
- Steel frame fixed into the opening
- Clearances for door closers and spy-holes
- Lockable from outside with a key and from inside with a thumb-turn or key

Getting the right front door gate for your building
Escape
Choose a gate that opens quickly from inside without hunting for a key.
Permission
In a block of flats, the building owner or managing agent usually needs to agree, and the gate must not compromise the building's fire strategy.
What the rules say 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.
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 Loughborough: questions
Do you cover Coalville as well as Loughborough?
Yes. As well as Loughborough, we can arrange surveys in nearby Coalville, Leicester and Long Eaton, and elsewhere in Leicestershire.
Will I still get post?
We can leave a letterbox clearance in the gate or suggest a wall-mounted post box.
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.
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.
