Hinged security gates in Hythe

Hinged security gates in Hythe: what will it cost?

Budget £834 to £2,034 including VAT (£695 to £1,695 plus VAT) per gate for hinged security gates in Hythe, 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.

Getting the right hinged gate for your building

Mesh infill

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

Finish

External gates last longest when galvanised before powder coating.

What the rules say in England

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 Hythe: questions

Can you survey in Hythe and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Hythe, Southampton, Totton and elsewhere in Hampshire are booked around installer availability.

How long do hinged gates take to make?

Each gate is made to measure after the survey. We confirm the lead time with your quote.

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.
