Fitting in Shaftesbury and nearby
Shaftesbury is about 24 miles from Bournemouth, the main centre for Dorset. We can survey and fit across the SP7 district and in nearby places such as Warminster and Frome.
Dorset combines large suburban areas around Bournemouth and Poole with stone-built market towns and conservation-area high streets such as Dorchester and Bridport.
This type of grille suits:
- Flat entrance doors
- Gated recesses and alleys
- Plant rooms and bin stores
- Rear doors where wall space is limited
Questions we will ask at the survey
Mesh infill
Bars alone may let someone reach through to a handle or lock. Mesh infill closes that gap.
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.
Planning and safety 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 Shaftesbury: questions
Do you cover Warminster as well as Shaftesbury?
Yes. As well as Shaftesbury, we can arrange surveys in nearby Warminster, Frome and Salisbury, and elsewhere in Dorset.
Can hinged gates be fitted outside?
Yes. They are often fitted outside commercial back doors, galvanised and powder-coated for weather resistance.
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.
Can you make a double gate?
Yes. Wide doorways can take a pair of gates or one large and one small leaf.
