Things to decide before you order
Mesh infill
Bars alone may let someone reach through to a handle or lock. Mesh infill closes that gap.
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.
Rules that apply in Scotland
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.
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.

Hinged security gates in Kirkcaldy: questions
Can you survey in Kirkcaldy and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Kirkcaldy, Glenrothes, Leven and elsewhere in Fife are booked around installer availability.
Can you make a double gate?
Yes. Wide doorways can take a pair of gates or one large and one small leaf.
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 hinged gates be fitted outside?
Yes. They are often fitted outside commercial back doors, galvanised and powder-coated for weather resistance.
