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
- Lock box with cylinder operable from one or both sides
- Welded steel frame fixed into the opening
- Galvanised and powder-coated for external use
- Hold-open hooks or stays
- Panic or push-to-exit hardware options for escape routes
- Single, double and leaf-and-a-half layouts

What to think about first
Mesh infill
Bars alone may let someone reach through to a handle or lock. Mesh infill closes that gap.
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.
Consents and safety: 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.
External grilles and planning
External grilles and shutters on shops and other commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the local council because they change the building's appearance. Many councils' shopfront guides favour internal, open-lattice grilles, particularly in conservation areas.

Hinged security gates in Bodmin: questions
Can you survey in Bodmin and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Bodmin, St Austell, Newquay and elsewhere in Cornwall are booked around installer availability.
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.
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 hinged gates be fitted outside?
Yes. They are often fitted outside commercial back doors, galvanised and powder-coated for weather resistance.
