Hinged security gates in Plymouth

Hinged security gates in Plymouth: what will it cost?

Most hinged security gates in Plymouth 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.

Choices you can make

Welded steel frame fixed into the opening
Heavy-duty hinges with anti-lift features
Lock box with cylinder operable from one or both sides
Panic or push-to-exit hardware options for escape routes
Galvanised and powder-coated for external use
Hold-open hooks or stays

Fitting in Plymouth and nearby

Surveys in Plymouth (PL1) are booked around installer availability, as they are in nearby Paignton (26 miles) and Newton Abbot (26 miles).

Devon runs from post-war Plymouth and Exeter city centres to Victorian seaside terraces in Torbay and thatched and stone cottages inland.

Common openings for hinged security gates:

Commercial back doors and service entrances
Gated recesses and alleys
Plant rooms and bin stores
Rear doors where wall space is limited

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

England

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.

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 Plymouth: questions

Can you survey in Plymouth and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Plymouth, Paignton, Newton Abbot and elsewhere in Devon 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.
