Fitting in Saddleworth and nearby

Saddleworth is about 11 miles from Manchester, the main centre for Greater Manchester. We can survey and fit across the OL3 district and in nearby places such as Oldham and Royton.

Greater Manchester is dominated by red-brick terraces and mill-town centres, with converted mills, modern city-centre flats and large retail parks.

Where hinged security gates are most often used:

Flat entrance doors
Plant rooms and bin stores
Commercial back doors and service entrances
Gated recesses and alleys

What to think about first

Mesh infill

Bars alone may let someone reach through to a handle or lock. Mesh infill closes that gap.

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.

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 Saddleworth: questions

Can you survey in Saddleworth and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Saddleworth, Oldham, Royton and elsewhere in Greater Manchester 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.

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 you make a double gate?

Yes. Wide doorways can take a pair of gates or one large and one small leaf.
