Hinged security gates in Cornwall: what will it cost?
Most hinged security gates in Cornwall fall within £834 to £2,034 including VAT (£695 to £1,695 plus VAT) per gate for supply and fitting. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey, before anything is ordered.
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 you can specify
- Heavy-duty hinges with anti-lift features
- Welded steel frame fixed into the opening
- Mesh infill option for anti-reach-through
- Galvanised and powder-coated for external use
- Panic or push-to-exit hardware options for escape routes
- 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
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 Cornwall: questions
Which towns in Cornwall do you cover?
We can arrange work anywhere in Cornwall, including Redruth, Falmouth, St Austell, Truro and Camborne, and in other towns across the area.
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.
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.
