Hinged security gates in Weymouth: what will it cost?
Most hinged security gates in Weymouth 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.
What goes into a hinged gate
- Mesh infill option for anti-reach-through
- Lock box with cylinder operable from one or both sides
- Hold-open hooks or stays
- Welded steel frame fixed into the opening
- Galvanised and powder-coated for external use
- Panic or push-to-exit hardware options for escape routes
Fitting in Weymouth and nearby
Surveys in Weymouth (DT4) are booked around installer availability. We also cover nearby Dorchester (7 miles), Bridport (15 miles) and Poole (22 miles).
Dorset combines large suburban areas around Bournemouth and Poole with stone-built market towns and conservation-area high streets such as Dorchester and Bridport.
Common openings for hinged security gates:
- Commercial back doors and service entrances
- Gated recesses and alleys
- Flat entrance doors
- 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
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 Weymouth: questions
Which areas near Weymouth do you cover?
We can arrange work in Weymouth and in nearby Dorchester (7 miles), Bridport (15 miles) and Poole (22 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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 you make a double gate?
Yes. Wide doorways can take a pair of gates or one large and one small leaf.
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.
