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.

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 St Austell: questions

Which areas near St Austell do you cover?

We can arrange work in St Austell and in nearby Bodmin (9 miles), Truro (13 miles) and Newquay (14 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

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.
