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
- Panic or push-to-exit hardware options for escape routes
- Mesh infill option for anti-reach-through
- Heavy-duty hinges with anti-lift features
- Single, double and leaf-and-a-half layouts
- Welded steel frame fixed into the opening
- Lock box with cylinder operable from one or both sides

What to think about first
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.
Mesh infill
Bars alone may let someone reach through to a handle or lock. Mesh infill closes that gap.
Consents and safety: 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 Havant: questions
Can you survey in Havant and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Havant, Waterlooville, Portsmouth and elsewhere in Hampshire are booked around installer availability.
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.
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.
