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.

Fitting in Dunstable and nearby

Dunstable is about 5 miles from Luton, the main centre for Bedfordshire. We can survey and fit across the LU6 district and in nearby places such as Luton and Leighton Buzzard.

Bedfordshire runs from Victorian terraces in Bedford and Luton to large post-war estates and new-build edges around Leighton Buzzard, with busy retail parades in every town centre.

Typical places for this kind of grille include:

Rear doors where wall space is limited
Gated recesses and alleys
Flat entrance doors
Commercial back doors and service entrances

Things to decide before you order

Swing direction

The gate needs clear space to open. We check steps, bins and the door's own swing before deciding which way it hangs.

Finish

External gates last longest when galvanised before powder coating.

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.

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.

Hinged security gates in Dunstable: questions

Do you cover Luton as well as Dunstable?

Yes. As well as Dunstable, we can arrange surveys in nearby Luton, Leighton Buzzard and Harpenden, 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 a hinged gate be used on a fire exit?

Only if it does not prevent escape while the building is occupied, for example with push-to-exit hardware or by being unlocked and fixed open during opening hours.

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.
