Professional fire gate installation - a lockable gate surround for your fireplace or log burner. Adults can access the fire, children can't. Securely wall-mounted so it can't be pushed over.
### Burns Happen Fast
Open fires and log burners are **dangerous for children**. A curious touch on hot glass or metal causes serious burns instantly. A proper fire gate creates a safe barrier with **adult-only access**.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Position the gate far enough from the heat source that the bars don't get too hot to touch - especially important with log burners.

Frequently Asked Questions about Fire gate installation in Honiton
What's the difference between a fireguard and a fire gate?
A fireguard is a simple barrier. A fire gate is a fireguard with a lockable gate section so adults can access the fireplace without removing the whole guard.
Can you fit to any fireplace?
Most fireplaces yes - we secure to the wall either side. Very wide openings or unusual layouts may need custom solutions. We'll advise when we see it.
Will it damage my walls?
Small screw holes in the wall either side of the fireplace. Easily filled if you remove it later. Much better than a child with burns.
What about log burners?
Same principle - the gate keeps children away from the hot surface. We position it far enough away that the bars themselves don't get dangerously hot.
