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.

Fitting in Archway and nearby

Surveys in Archway (N19) are booked around installer availability. We also cover nearby Holloway (1 mile), Muswell Hill (2 miles) and Chalk Farm (2 miles).

London's buildings range from Victorian and Edwardian terraces and mansion blocks to post-war estates, with long high streets of ground-floor shops below flats.

Rear doors where wall space is limited
Plant rooms and bin stores
Flat entrance doors
Commercial back doors and service entrances

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.

Mesh infill

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

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.

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.
