Hinged security gates in Tiverton

Hinged security gates in Tiverton: what will it cost?

As a guide, hinged security gates in Tiverton cost £834 to £2,034 including VAT (£695 to £1,695 plus VAT) per gate, supplied and fitted. The exact figure depends on size, type, finish and locking, and is confirmed in writing after the free survey.

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.

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

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.

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.

Hinged security gates in Tiverton: questions

Which areas near Tiverton do you cover?

We can arrange work in Tiverton and in nearby Exeter (12 miles), Taunton (19 miles) and Exmouth (20 miles). Dates depend on 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.

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.

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.
