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 you can specify
- Lock box with cylinder operable from one or both sides
- Single, double and leaf-and-a-half layouts
- Panic or push-to-exit hardware options for escape routes
- Hold-open hooks or stays
- Heavy-duty hinges with anti-lift features
- Galvanised and powder-coated for external use
Fitting in Brentwood and nearby
We arrange surveys and fitting in Brentwood and across the CM14 postcode district, as well as in nearby Billericay (5 miles) and Hornchurch (6 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Essex ranges from Victorian terraces in Southend and Colchester to new towns such as Harlow and Basildon and large commuter estates near London.
Common openings for hinged security gates:
- Plant rooms and bin stores
- Rear doors where wall space is limited
- Gated recesses and alleys
- Commercial back doors and service entrances
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.
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.
What the rules say in England
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.
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 Brentwood: questions
Can you survey in Brentwood and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Brentwood, Billericay, Hornchurch and elsewhere in Essex are booked around 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.
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.
Can you make a double gate?
Yes. Wide doorways can take a pair of gates or one large and one small leaf.
