Hinged security gates in Beckenham: what will it cost?

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.

- Single, double and leaf-and-a-half layouts
- Galvanised and powder-coated for external use
- Hold-open hooks or stays
- Welded steel frame fixed into the opening

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.
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.
What the rules say in England
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.

Which areas near Beckenham do you cover?

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 you make a double gate?
Yes. Wide doorways can take a pair of gates or one large and one small leaf.

Each gate is made to measure after the survey. We confirm the lead time with your quote.
