Hinged security gates in Inverness: what will it cost?

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.
Options for hinged security gates in Inverness
- Panic or push-to-exit hardware options for escape routes
- Hold-open hooks or stays
- Galvanised and powder-coated for external use
- Lock box with cylinder operable from one or both sides

Fitting in Inverness and nearby
We arrange surveys and fitting across Inverness and the IV2 postcode district, and in nearby Dingwall (11 miles), Nairn (15 miles) and Aviemore.
The Highlands are one of the most sparsely populated parts of the UK, with Inverness as the main centre and many remote homes, holiday lets and small-town shops.
Common openings for hinged security gates:
- Flat entrance doors
- Gated recesses and alleys
- Plant rooms and bin stores
- Commercial back doors 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 Scotland
External grilles and planning
External grilles and shutters on commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the council under the Scottish planning system. Councils' shopfront guidance commonly prefers internal, open-mesh security, particularly in conservation areas and town centres.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent for works affecting their character, decided by the council, with Historic Environment Scotland consulted on some cases. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes. Check with the council before ordering.

Hinged security gates in Inverness: questions
Do you cover Dingwall as well as Inverness?
Yes. As well as Inverness, we can arrange surveys in nearby Dingwall, Nairn and Aviemore, and elsewhere in Highland.
Can you make a double gate?
Yes. Wide doorways can take a pair of gates or one large and one small leaf.
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.
