Hinged security gates in Oldham

Hinged security gates in Oldham: what will it cost?

Most hinged security gates in Oldham fall within £834 to £2,034 including VAT (£695 to £1,695 plus VAT) per gate for supply and fitting. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey, before anything is ordered.

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.

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

England

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.

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.
