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.

- Welded steel frame fixed into the opening
- Panic or push-to-exit hardware options for escape routes
- Mesh infill option for anti-reach-through

Getting the right hinged gate for your building
Finish
External gates last longest when galvanised before powder coating.
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.
What the rules say in 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 Ramsgate: questions
Can you survey in Ramsgate and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Ramsgate, Broadstairs, Margate and elsewhere in Kent 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.
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.
