Security metalwork measured around your door
Keyed locking available
The lock can be integrated into the measured grille and opening layout.
Handles kept clear
We record existing door hardware so the grille remains practical to use.
Visibility considered
Bar and decorative density can balance openness with a substantial look.
Add a physical barrier without a solid screen
A made-to-measure metal grille adds a substantial barrier across a door or vulnerable opening while retaining the open appearance of ironwork. We measure around frames, handles, hinges and locks rather than covering the opening with a roughly sized panel. Our portfolio includes an ornate door grille with a keyed lock, showing how security hardware can sit within decorative metalwork. Bar spacing, cross-members and the amount of ornament all affect visibility and the grille's physical presence.
Keep everyday access practical
A grille still needs to work as part of an entrance. We discuss which way it should open, how you normally approach the door and where the lock can be used comfortably. The usable opening must remain clear once hinges and hardware are fitted. Existing frames and walls are assessed for suitable fixing positions before manufacture. We then set out the bar pattern around the actual dimensions, integrating the locking arrangement rather than treating it as a separate piece added at the end.
Frequently asked questions
Can a security grille include a keyed lock?
Yes. Our portfolio documents an ornate door grille with a keyed lock built into the metalwork. We measure the frame, opening and existing door hardware before planning the hinge and locking positions.
Will the grille interfere with my door handle?
We record handle, lock and frame positions during measuring, then plan clearance around them. Opening direction and the usable entrance width are also considered. This avoids treating the grille as a flat panel with no relation to the door.
Can a security grille still look decorative?
Yes. Scrolls and other ornamental details can be worked into the bar and cross-member layout. We balance the decoration against visibility, locking needs and practical access, using measured proportions rather than adding detail at random.
