I thought there must have been some weird mistake last year, so decided to give them a second chance. Now I spoke to a gentleman on the phone, who said he would give me a quote for security gates over the phone, if I called back. Did so, and got a quote, even if there was confusion as to whether I had given metric or imperial measures. A visit was arranged for the following day for proper measurements to be taken. Nobody turned up, all day. Phoned them again the following day, listened somebody arguing on the phone with someone else, while i was waiting. Then a female voice told me there was no entry in their diary of a visit to my place. So she arranged another one for yesterday, AM. And nothing.

So much for supporting local businesses, or maybe living 5 min away is not local enough for these people. Still looking for security gates...]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/8818/9470#msg-9470 Fri, 12 Dec 2003 22:32:43 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/8818/8968#msg-8968 forum@london-se1.co.uk (Teresa) Obviously not at night! but I have the advantage of a siesta now!

Well it's still in good condition! I have checked the brochure and I think Triple Three must have been taken over as it is Tital Forge as from 6 May 1990: the phone number is 081 558 9000: address is Shaftesbury Road, London E10. Also I have just checked and they have a website

Doesn't time fly - it must have been about 15 years ago!

Anyway, Henry, I hope this is of use.]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/8818/8965#msg-8965 Thu, 13 Nov 2003 03:09:56 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/8818/8948#msg-8948 forum@london-se1.co.uk (Lang Rabbie)
Two cautionary thoughts on gates:

(i) Make sure that the gate is designed to match your door - many cheap ones have letter box slots at funny heights that make it impossible for the postman to deliver anything larger than a DL sized envelope through your door, requiring you to regularly traipse to the sorting office for anything larger.

(ii) Make sure that you have a means of escape in the event of fire. You should consider a key box inside the door.]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/8818/8948#msg-8948 Wed, 12 Nov 2003 12:57:41 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/8818/8946#msg-8946 forum@london-se1.co.uk (Jai)

You should be ashamed of your post.

As a recent victim of burglary myself, I can fully understand other's postsings on the subject of personal safety and security.

Maybe you bought one of those pathetic little "panic" buttons to fit over the top of your Escape key on the keyboard - since you find the subject matter such a joke?

I ended up with a really strong hardwood door, a French multi bold system manufactured by someone called Fichet on the lock side (you turn the key and the door is bolted at top bottom and three times in the middle into an integral steer door frame), and what I think is called a London bar on the hinge side which is essentially some metal to strengthen the original frame to prevent the door being jemmied from that side.

From the outside it looks like an ordinary door, and so does not advertise the fact that the resident is worried. But anyone trying to kick it in would end up with a pretty sore foot, and hopefully would go elsewhere.

I don't recall it being extortionate (in the context of preventing a nervous tenant from leaving) and it has impressed prospective tenants.]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/8818/8852#msg-8852 Thu, 06 Nov 2003 08:06:17 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/8818/8845#msg-8845 forum@london-se1.co.uk (Henry) SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/8818/8845#msg-8845 Wed, 05 Nov 2003 15:10:53 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/8818/8836#msg-8836 forum@london-se1.co.uk (Jan Lane)

Before last christmas I phoned a shop somewhere around London Bridge, who promised to return with a quote, never heard from them again. I found that shop in Thompsons guide.

So I also am looking for information on security gates.]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/8818/8833#msg-8833 Tue, 04 Nov 2003 23:31:03 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/8818/8831#msg-8831 forum@london-se1.co.uk (James Hatts)
