Front door security gates in Norwich

Front door security gates in Norwich: what will it cost?

As a guide, front door security gates in Norwich cost £834 to £1,794 including VAT (£695 to £1,495 plus VAT) per door, supplied and fitted. The exact figure depends on size, type, finish and locking, and is confirmed in writing after the free 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.

Mesh infill to stop reach-through to the door lock
Lockable from outside with a key and from inside with a thumb-turn or key
Steel frame fixed into the opening

Getting the right front door gate for your building

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.

Appearance

A plain bar gate in a dark finish is less conspicuous than a heavy lattice.

What the rules say in England

England

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.

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 Norwich: questions

Do you cover Wymondham as well as Norwich?

Yes. As well as Norwich, we can arrange surveys in nearby Wymondham, North Walsham and Dereham, and elsewhere in Norfolk.

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.

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.
