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 you can specify
- Mesh infill option for anti-reach-through
- Lock box with cylinder operable from one or both sides
- Welded steel frame fixed into the opening
- Panic or push-to-exit hardware options for escape routes
- Hold-open hooks or stays
- Galvanised and powder-coated for external use

Getting the right hinged gate for your building
Finish
External gates last longest when galvanised before powder coating.
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.
What the rules say in 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 Dorset: questions
Which towns in Dorset do you cover?
We can arrange work anywhere in Dorset, including Bournemouth, Poole, Weymouth, Christchurch and Bridport, and in other towns across the area.
Can hinged gates be fitted outside?
Yes. They are often fitted outside commercial back doors, galvanised and powder-coated for weather resistance.
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.
