Fitting in Ballymena and nearby

Ballymena is about 23 miles from Belfast, the main centre for County Antrim. We can survey and fit across the BT43 district and in nearby places such as Antrim and Magherafelt.

County Antrim centres on Belfast's red-brick terraces, Victorian city centre and commercial areas, with towns such as Lisburn, Ballymena and Larne.

This type of grille suits:

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

Questions we will ask at the survey

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.

Escape route

If the gate is on an exit route, consider escape hardware or a management plan so it is never locked while people are inside.

External grilles and planning

Planning in Northern Ireland is handled by the eleven councils. External grilles and shutters on commercial buildings normally need planning permission, and councils generally prefer internal, see-through security in town centres.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings in Northern Ireland need listed building consent for works affecting their character, with the council deciding and the Department for Communities' Historic Environment Division advising. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes.

Hinged security gates in Ballymena: questions

Do you cover Antrim as well as Ballymena?

Yes. As well as Ballymena, we can arrange surveys in nearby Antrim, Magherafelt and Ballymoney, and elsewhere in County Antrim.

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 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.
