Appartments: don't like the word apart.
Appartments: derives from the italian word 'appartamento', which derives from the latin word 'appartare'.
A security gate with vertical bars that is installed outside of doors (wooden or insecure doors)
Bolts hidden by the gate itself (i.e. they cannot be unscrewed when the gate is closed)
Key(s) can be handed to a friend/neighbor for addicts who's best interest is to stay home during evenings/night time
Vertical bars allow for a view hole in the door
Generated with ChatGPT, had difficulty getting the AI to understand the image concept.
"Defects": (1) the gate should be fitted so that no wall bolts show when it's closed
(2) the door handle should be covered by the locking mechanism of the gate
(3) anchor plates should be full length with eight bolts each
(4) gate would look better in equal height as the door with some clearance at the bottom
Requirement specification
The gate should have a frame of rectangular bars and 4-5 vertical round bars inside
The gate should have a flat section sized enough to cover the ordinary door lock and handle
The flat section contains the locking mechanism with a key slot directed to the rounded bars
(no visible key slot from the front)
Flat anchor plates are attached to the wall with eight bolts each to either side of the door outside of the ordinary door frames
The gate is hinged on top of one the plates and the locking slider goes into the other (raised section for locking slider?)
The hinges are placed outside of the wall bolt holes so that all bolts are hidden by the gate when it is closed
The anchor plates can be replaced by rectangular hollow beams if distance is needed between the gate and the door handle
The anchor plates should be approximately 12 cm in width, with chamfering to avoid sharp edges (30 degrees in relation to front plane?)
The gate should have rubber pads to stop it from slammering when closed (white?)
The gate should be of door height with some clearance at the bottom (small enough for toes not to get hurt, or large enough to avoid feet)
The gate should be in white and have a slim and light appearance
Edit 2026-08-18:
Hinge bolts will be difficult to cut if they are close to the anchor plates
Can be fitted with a vibration alarm for abrasive actions (e.g. angle grinder)
ChatGPT
The requirements were input to
ChatGPT, all in on piece as:
I want to design a anchor plate mounted security gate for appartment doors.
<REQUIREMENTS>
Images should have no visible key.
Can you generate an image of this where the gate is closed, the setting should be inside an appartment building, the gate is as high as the door, and the appartment door in wooden brown, please?
