Choices you can make

Heavy-duty hinges with anti-lift features
Hold-open hooks or stays
Mesh infill option for anti-reach-through
Panic or push-to-exit hardware options for escape routes
Single, double and leaf-and-a-half layouts
Lock box with cylinder operable from one or both sides

What to think about first

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hinged security gates in Southend-on-Sea: questions

Which areas near Southend-on-Sea do you cover?

We can arrange work in Southend-on-Sea and in nearby Rayleigh (6 miles), Canvey Island (6 miles) and Benfleet (7 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

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.
