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
- Powder-coated finishes
- Clearances for door closers and spy-holes
- Low thresholds for level access
- Steel frame fixed into the opening
- Letterbox clearance where needed

Rules that apply in 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 Selby: questions
Do you cover Goole as well as Selby?
Yes. As well as Selby, we can arrange surveys in nearby Goole, Pontefract and York, and elsewhere in North Yorkshire.
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.
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.
