DescriptionThe SeceuroGuard 1000 Doorway Security Grille is a high quality collapsible steel security grille specifically configured for internal doorway installations in both domestic and commercial properties. Available in made to measure sizes up to 1800mm wide and 2500mm high, this version of the SeceuroGuard 1000 provides effective security for doorway openings whilst maintaining all the quality and functionality of the full SeceuroGuard range.
Ideal for securing internal doorways where access control and security zoning is required, including residential hallways, commercial corridors, office entrances, retail back-of-house areas, and any internal doorway that requires controllable security whilst retaining visibility.

ApplicationApplication
The SeceuroGuard 1000 is suitable for physical security of internal doorway openings up to 1800mm wide and 2500mm high, with this configuration supplied in a single sash arrangement designed specifically for internal doorway installation. This application-specific solution is ideal for both domestic and commercial premises where internal doorways require controllable security whilst maintaining excellent visibility and access.
FOR DOMESTIC PREMISES
Elegant good looks with a heart of steel - the SeceuroGuard 1000 Retractable Security Gate System combines a classic appearance with strength, making it an ideal security choice for internal doorways throughout the home. The high quality components used in manufacturing make this one of the best security grilles for doorway applications in the UK market. It is strong and yet subtle in appearance with elegant profile sections.
Designed to provide security zoning whilst letting maximum light through, they are perfect for:
- Hallway doorways and entrance corridors
- Doorways separating living areas from private zones
- Utility room and laundry room doorways
- Home office and study doorways requiring security
- Garage to house internal doorways
- Cellar and basement doorways
- Landing doorways and stairwell access points
- Annexe and granny flat connecting doorways
- Any internal doorway requiring controllable access
When in use, gates can be locked to provide security whilst maintaining visibility and ventilation between spaces. This is particularly useful for homes with children or pets, or where security zoning is required without complete visual separation.
When not in use these retractable gates are surprisingly unobtrusive. The single sash arrangement stacks neatly to one side of the doorway, and a pelmet can be used to conceal the top track.
The collapsible security gates are configured for internal doorway openings up to 1800mm wide and 2500mm high, covering standard UK internal doorway sizes. The single sash design ensures the grille stacks efficiently to one side, maximising the clear opening width when retracted.
The lift-up hinged bottom track is a particularly important feature for doorway applications. This innovative design allows the bottom track to hinge upwards to one side when the grille is fully retracted, creating a completely clear threshold with no trip hazard or obstruction. This makes the SeceuroGuard 1000 Doorway Grille ideal for high-traffic doorways, wheelchair access requirements, and ensuring safe passage when the grille is not in use.
Essentially maintenance free, each SeceuroGuard 1000 is available in a range of powder coated colour options to complement your interior décor, and can also be supplied with optional decorative 'S' Profile lattices instead of the standard X lattice design.
FOR COMMERCIAL PREMISES
Allowing maximum natural light between spaces whilst providing controllable security, retractable gates fold to one side of the doorway when not required and create a secure but visually open environment when deployed.
Commercial premises, offices, retail back-of-house areas and valuable equipment are safely protected by an exceptionally strong security barrier, manufactured from pre-galvanised rolled steel with multi point locking from a single key.
Offering security features which are particularly important for internal doorways requiring access control and security zoning, the SeceuroGuard 1000 ensures excellent barrier security. Whilst the top hung ultra-smooth carrier system and nylon coated steel bearings also ensure it is quick and easy to open and close. This configuration (up to 1800mm wide x 2500mm high) makes it perfect for:
- Office corridor and entrance doorways
- Retail store back-of-house doorways
- Warehouse to office connecting doorways
- Staff area and equipment room doorways
- Reception area security doorways
- Server room and IT equipment doorways
- Stock room and storage area doorways
- Healthcare facility internal security doorways
- Educational facility corridor doorways
- Any commercial internal doorway requiring controllable security
The single sash arrangement is specifically chosen for doorway applications to maximise the clear opening width when the grille is retracted, ensuring efficient traffic flow during operational hours. When deployed, the multi-point locking system provides robust security for out-of-hours protection or access control during working hours.
The lift-up hinged bottom track option is particularly valuable in commercial settings where health and safety requirements demand clear, unobstructed thresholds. When the grille is fully opened, the bottom track hinges upwards to eliminate trip hazards, ensuring compliance with accessibility standards and workplace safety regulations. This feature makes the SeceuroGuard 1000 Doorway Grille suitable for high-traffic commercial environments whilst maintaining high security performance.
SeceuroGuard 1000 is essentially maintenance free and available in a broad range of optional powder coated colours to complement interior décor and corporate styling. This is a perfect security product for internal doorway applications and offers a truly high level of security without creating permanent barriers, whilst maintaining visibility and the ability to monitor spaces beyond the security line.

Related Products
For enhanced security requiring insurance approval, consider upgrading to the SeceuroGuard 1001, independently tested and certified to Loss Prevention Standard LPS 1175 Security Rating 1.
Installation Smaller grilles are simple to handle and install generally and it is only when the sizes and weights exceed a single person handling that you require 2 or more people to assist and manouvre the components into place.
For optimal performance and warranty compliance, we strongly recommend professional installation by qualified security grille installers or tradesmen used to installing doors, windows and other products requiring associated skills. SeceuroGuard grilles require precise measurement, secure substrate fixing, and correct assembly—particularly for the SR1 rated SeceuroGuard 1001 model where LPS 1175 certification validity depends on installation meeting LPCB requirements.
Installation Methods
The SeceuroGuard range offers three primary installation configurations to suit different architectural requirements:
- Face-Fixed with Bottom Track - Complete framework mounted to wall surface with floor-mounted bottom track
- Face-Fixed to Aperture - Framework fitted around opening perimeter with additional support profiles
- Reveal-Fixed Within Aperture - Compact installation within window or door recess
Ordering Dimensions - Critical Information
SeceuroGuard grilles are always ordered using Overall Width and Overall Height measurements that include the complete framework and sash assembly.
For Face-Fixed Installations: Add the relevant dimensions for side frames, top track, and bottom track, plus any reinforcement sections required to calculate your ordering sizes.
For Reveal-Fixed Installations: Measure the internal aperture dimensions—the grille framework is manufactured to fit within this space.
Pre-Installation Requirements
Essential Tools & Equipment:
- Spirit level and measuring tape
- Hammer drill with appropriate masonry bits (for brick/block) or metal drill bits (for steel frames)
- Socket set and spanners
- Screwdriver set (Phillips and flathead)
- Safety glasses and dust mask
- Stepladder or access platform
Substrate Assessment:
Secure fixing requires:
- Brick/Block Walls: Minimum 100mm embedment depth with resin anchors or expansion bolts
- Steel Frames: Through-bolting with appropriate grade fixings
- Timber Frames: Coach screws to structural timber (not suitable for all applications)
- Weak Substrates: May require reinforcement—consult a structural engineer
Installation Process Overview
1. Site Preparation
- Verify opening dimensions match order specifications
- Check substrate condition and load-bearing capacity
- Ensure adequate clearance for sash operation and bunch width (approximately 15% of overall width)
- Clear the work area and protect flooring/surfaces
2. Framework Assembly
- Unpack all components and verify against delivery note
- Pre-assemble track sections if supplied in multiple pieces (widths over 4000mm)
- Check all fixings, brackets, and components are present
3. Positioning & Leveling
- Position top track using temporary supports
- Use spirit level to ensure perfect horizontal alignment—critical for smooth operation
- Mark all fixing positions through pre-drilled holes in framework
- For face-fixed installations, ensure fixing frame is plumb and square
4. Secure Fixing
- Drill pilot holes to correct depth for substrate type
- Install fixings progressively, checking alignment after each fixing
- Torque fixings to manufacturer's specifications—avoid over-tightening
- Ensure minimum fixing centres are maintained (typically 400-600mm)
5. Sash Installation
- Attach sash carrier wheels to top track
- Guide lattice sash into track system
- For larger installations, sections may require on-site joining with provided fixings
6. Locking Mechanism
- Install lock posts and slam posts according to configuration
- Adjust multi-point locking to ensure smooth engagement
- Test lock operation through full cycle
7. Final Adjustments & Testing
- Check sash slides smoothly across full width
- Adjust carrier wheels if binding or resistance occurs
- Verify locking engagement is secure
- Test bottom track (if folding option specified)
Installation Considerations
For SeceuroGuard 1001 SR1 Rated Installations:
- Must comply with LPS 1175 installation requirements
- All fixings must meet specified security standards
- Installation certificate may be required for insurance purposes
- Substrate must provide adequate resistance—certification is void if installation is compromised
Hinge-Aside & Folding Track Options:
Special installation procedures apply for optional configurations—refer to specific instructions provided with these options.
Common Installation Challenges:
- Out-of-Square Openings: May require packing or shimming—check diagonals before fixing
- Uneven Floors: Particularly affects bottom track alignment—may require floor preparation
- Restricted Access: Consider installation sequence for narrow doorways or difficult access
- Overlapping Windows/Doors: Plan sash stacking location to avoid operational conflicts
Post-Installation
- Remove all protective coverings and packaging
- Clean lattice and tracks with mild detergent
