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
- Single, double and leaf-and-a-half layouts
- Galvanised and powder-coated for external use
- Mesh infill option for anti-reach-through
- Panic or push-to-exit hardware options for escape routes
- Lock box with cylinder operable from one or both sides
- Welded steel frame fixed into the opening

Dumfries and Galloway is rural south-west Scotland, with sandstone towns such as Dumfries and Annan and the ferry port of Stranraer.

- Commercial back doors and service entrances
- Plant rooms and bin stores
- Rear doors where wall space is limited
- Gated recesses and alleys
What to think about first
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.
Consents and safety: Scotland
External grilles and planning
External grilles and shutters on commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the council under the Scottish planning system. Councils' shopfront guidance commonly prefers internal, open-mesh security, particularly in conservation areas and town centres.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent for works affecting their character, decided by the council, with Historic Environment Scotland consulted on some cases. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes. Check with the council before ordering.
