Hinged security gates in Bearsden: what will it cost?
Budget £834 to £2,034 including VAT (£695 to £1,695 plus VAT) per gate for hinged security gates in Bearsden, supplied and fitted. Size, number of leaves, colour and access all move the price, which is fixed in writing after the 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.

- Hold-open hooks or stays
- Heavy-duty hinges with anti-lift features
- Lock box with cylinder operable from one or both sides
- Galvanised and powder-coated for external use

Getting the right hinged gate for your building
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.
Mesh infill
Bars alone may let someone reach through to a handle or lock. Mesh infill closes that gap.
What the rules say in Scotland
Grilles across exits in business premises
In Scotland, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 make the duty holder keep escape routes and exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be open whenever the premises are occupied.
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 Bearsden: questions
Can you survey in Bearsden and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Bearsden, Clydebank, Renfrew and elsewhere in Glasgow and Clyde are booked around installer availability.
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 hinged gates be fitted outside?
Yes. They are often fitted outside commercial back doors, galvanised and powder-coated for weather resistance.
Can you make a double gate?
Yes. Wide doorways can take a pair of gates or one large and one small leaf.
