Hinged security gates in Kilmarnock: what will it cost?

A hinged security gate is a steel bar gate hung on its own welded frame in front of or behind a door. It swings open and closed like a second door and locks with a heavy-duty lock box, making it a strong choice for back doors, plant rooms and service entrances.
What goes into a hinged gate
- Mesh infill option for anti-reach-through
- Lock box with cylinder operable from one or both sides
- Heavy-duty hinges with anti-lift features
- Hold-open hooks or stays
- Galvanised and powder-coated for external use
- Single, double and leaf-and-a-half layouts

Getting the right hinged gate for your building
Escape route
If the gate is on an exit route, consider escape hardware or a management plan so it is never locked while people are inside.
Finish
External gates last longest when galvanised before powder coating.
What the rules say in Scotland
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent for works affecting their character, decided by the council, with Historic Environment Scotland consulted on some cases. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes. Check with the council before ordering.
External grilles and planning
External grilles and shutters on commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the council under the Scottish planning system. Councils' shopfront guidance commonly prefers internal, open-mesh security, particularly in conservation areas and town centres.

Hinged security gates in Kilmarnock: questions
Do you cover Irvine as well as Kilmarnock?
Yes. As well as Kilmarnock, we can arrange surveys in nearby Irvine, Troon and Saltcoats, and elsewhere in Ayrshire.
Can you make a double gate?
Yes. Wide doorways can take a pair of gates or one large and one small leaf.
How long do hinged gates take to make?
Each gate is made to measure after the survey. We confirm the lead time with your quote.
Is a hinged gate stronger than a retractable grille?
A well-made hinged gate is very strong because it has a rigid frame and solid bars. Retractable grilles trade a little rigidity for the ability to fold away.
