Gates or grilles can prevent the emergency services from reaching you quickly and could result in trapping you inside your home, if a fire occurs.
Tips
Always seek permission from Poplar HARCA before fitting a security gate or grille. We have to remove gates and grilles which we have not given permission for, and will re-charge you for the removal cost
The London Fire Brigade recommends keeping your gates and grilles unlocked at all times when people are at home
In case a gate or grille is locked by accident, keep a spare key in an agreed location inside your home and make sure all members of your household know where this is.
