Hinged security gates in Essex

Hinged security gates in Essex: what will it cost?

As a guide, hinged security gates in Essex cost £834 to £2,034 including VAT (£695 to £1,695 plus VAT) per gate, supplied and fitted. The exact figure depends on size, type, finish and locking, and is confirmed in writing after the free survey.

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.

Finish

External gates last longest when galvanised before powder coating.

Mesh infill

Bars alone may let someone reach through to a handle or lock. Mesh infill closes that gap.

What the rules say in England

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.

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 Essex: questions

Which towns in Essex do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in Essex, including Southend-on-Sea, Basildon, Colchester, Chelmsford and Harlow, and in other towns across the area.

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.

Can hinged gates be fitted outside?

Yes. They are often fitted outside commercial back doors, galvanised and powder-coated for weather resistance.
