What to think about first

Escape route

If the gate is on an exit route, consider escape hardware or a management plan so it is never locked while people are inside.

Swing direction

The gate needs clear space to open. We check steps, bins and the door's own swing before deciding which way it hangs.

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.
