Hinged security gates in Islington: what will it cost?
Budget £834 to £2,034 including VAT (£695 to £1,695 plus VAT) per gate for hinged security gates in Islington, 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.
Choices you can make
- Lock box with cylinder operable from one or both sides
- Galvanised and powder-coated for external use
- Mesh infill option for anti-reach-through
- Heavy-duty hinges with anti-lift features
- Single, double and leaf-and-a-half layouts
- Panic or push-to-exit hardware options for escape routes

- Flat entrance doors
- Rear doors where wall space is limited
- Gated recesses and alleys
- Plant rooms and bin stores
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.
Mesh infill
Bars alone may let someone reach through to a handle or lock. Mesh infill closes that gap.
What the rules say in England
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.
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.

Hinged security gates in Islington: questions
Can you survey in Islington and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Islington, Highbury, Holloway and elsewhere in Greater London 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 you make a double gate?
Yes. Wide doorways can take a pair of gates or one large and one small leaf.
Can hinged gates be fitted outside?
Yes. They are often fitted outside commercial back doors, galvanised and powder-coated for weather resistance.
