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
- Lockable from outside with a key and from inside with a thumb-turn or key
- Hinged or retractable designs
- Letterbox clearance where needed
- Steel frame fixed into the opening
- Mesh infill to stop reach-through to the door lock
- Low thresholds for level access

Things to decide before you order
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.
Rules that apply in Wales
External grilles and planning
External grilles and shutters on commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the local planning authority. Welsh councils' shopfront and design guidance generally favours internal, see-through security over solid external shutters.
Grilles across exits in business premises
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, including to the common parts of blocks of flats and HMOs. The responsible person must keep escape routes and exits available and easy to open while people are present, so a grille across an exit should be open whenever the premises are occupied.

Front door security gates in Maesteg: questions
Can you survey in Maesteg and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Maesteg, Port Talbot, Neath and elsewhere in Mid Glamorgan are booked around installer availability.
Will I still get post?
We can leave a letterbox clearance in the gate or suggest a wall-mounted post box.
Does a front door gate need planning permission?
Gates in front of a house's front door can need planning permission, especially on listed buildings or in conservation areas. Gates behind the door usually do not.
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.
