- Lockable from outside with a key and from inside with a thumb-turn or key
- Powder-coated finishes
- Steel frame fixed into the opening
- Hinged or retractable designs

Consents and safety: Wales
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.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent for works affecting their character, decided by the local planning authority with Cadw's involvement where required. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes. Check with the council before ordering.

Front door security gates in Barry: questions
Can you survey in Barry and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Barry, Penarth, Cardiff and elsewhere in South Glamorgan are booked around installer availability.
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.
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.
