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.

- Panic or push-to-exit hardware options for escape routes
- Heavy-duty hinges with anti-lift features

Romford is about 14 miles from Central London, the main centre for Greater London. We can survey and fit across the RM1 district and in nearby places such as Hornchurch and Dagenham.
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:
- Commercial back doors and service entrances
- Rear doors where wall space is limited
- Gated recesses and alleys
- Plant rooms and bin stores
Getting the right hinged gate for your building
Finish
External gates last longest when galvanised before powder coating.
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.
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 Romford: questions
Do you cover Hornchurch as well as Romford?
Yes. As well as Romford, we can arrange surveys in nearby Hornchurch, Dagenham and Becontree, and elsewhere in Greater London.
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.
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.
