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

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.

Appearance

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

Escape

Choose a gate that opens quickly from inside without hunting for a key.

What the rules say in England

England

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.

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 Blyth: questions

Do you cover Ashington as well as Blyth?

Yes. As well as Blyth, we can arrange surveys in nearby Ashington, Cramlington and Whitley Bay, and elsewhere in Northumberland.

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.

Will I still get post?

We can leave a letterbox clearance in the gate or suggest a wall-mounted post box.
