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.

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.

Finish

External gates last longest when galvanised before powder coating.

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.

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 Swanley: questions

Which areas near Swanley do you cover?

We can arrange work in Swanley and in nearby Bexley (3 miles), Dartford (4 miles) and Welling (5 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.

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.
