Fitting in Cowes and nearby
Cowes is about 4 miles from Newport, Isle of Wight, the main centre for Isle of Wight. We can survey and fit across the PO31 district and in nearby places such as Newport and Ryde.
The Isle of Wight's stock is mainly Victorian seaside terraces, villas and holiday properties, many of them used seasonally.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Plant rooms and bin stores
- Flat entrance doors
- Rear doors where wall space is limited
- Gated recesses and alleys
Things to decide before you order
Mesh infill
Bars alone may let someone reach through to a handle or lock. Mesh infill closes that gap.
Swing direction
The gate needs clear space to open. We check steps, bins and the door's own swing before deciding which way it hangs.
Rules that apply in 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.
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.

Hinged security gates in Cowes: questions
Which areas near Cowes do you cover?
We can arrange work in Cowes and in nearby Newport (4 miles), Ryde (6 miles) and Gosport (8 miles). Dates depend on 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 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.
Can you make a double gate?
Yes. Wide doorways can take a pair of gates or one large and one small leaf.
