Hinged security gates in Finchley: what will it cost?
As a guide, hinged security gates in Finchley cost £834 to £2,034 including VAT (£695 to £1,695 plus VAT) per gate, supplied and fitted. The exact figure depends on size, type, finish and locking, and is confirmed in writing after the free 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.

Fitting in Finchley and nearby
Finchley is about 7 miles from Central London, the main centre for Greater London. We can survey and fit across the N3 district and in nearby places such as Muswell Hill and Cricklewood.
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.
Common openings for hinged security gates:
- Gated recesses and alleys
- Flat entrance doors
- Rear doors where wall space is limited
- Commercial back doors and service entrances
Getting the right hinged gate for your building
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.
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.
Grilles across exits in business premises
In workplaces and other non-domestic premises, including the common parts of blocks of flats and HMOs, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep escape routes and emergency exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be unlocked and parked open whenever the building is occupied, and covered in the fire risk assessment.

Hinged security gates in Finchley: questions
Can you survey in Finchley and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Finchley, Muswell Hill, Cricklewood and elsewhere in Greater London are booked around installer availability.
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.
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.
