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
- Welded steel frame fixed into the opening
- Panic or push-to-exit hardware options for escape routes
- Mesh infill option for anti-reach-through
- Single, double and leaf-and-a-half layouts
- Heavy-duty hinges with anti-lift features
- Hold-open hooks or stays

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.

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 East Sussex: questions
Which towns in East Sussex do you cover?
We can arrange work anywhere in East Sussex, including Brighton, Eastbourne, Hastings, Hove and Bexhill-on-Sea, 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.
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.
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.
