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
- Galvanised and powder-coated for external use
- Welded steel frame fixed into the opening
- Single, double and leaf-and-a-half layouts

Getting the right hinged gate for your building
Mesh infill
Bars alone may let someone reach through to a handle or lock. Mesh infill closes that gap.
Finish
External gates last longest when galvanised before powder coating.
What the rules say in England
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings need listed building consent for works that affect their character, which can include internal grilles and their fixings. In conservation areas, councils look closely at anything fitted to the outside. We recommend speaking to the council's conservation officer before ordering.
Grilles across exits in business premises
In workplaces and other non-domestic premises, including the common parts of blocks of flats and HMOs, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep escape routes and emergency exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be unlocked and parked open whenever the building is occupied, and covered in the fire risk assessment.

Hinged security gates in Bedford: questions
Do you cover Ampthill as well as Bedford?
Yes. As well as Bedford, we can arrange surveys in nearby Ampthill, St Neots and Rushden, and elsewhere in Bedfordshire.
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.
Can you make a double gate?
Yes. Wide doorways can take a pair of gates or one large and one small leaf.
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.
