Hinged security gates in Tonbridge

What is the price of hinged security gates in Tonbridge?

As a guide, hinged security gates in Tonbridge cost £834 to £2,034 including VAT (£695 to £1,695 plus VAT) per gate, supplied and fitted. The exact figure depends on size, type, finish and locking, and is confirmed in writing after the free 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.

Questions we will ask at the survey

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.

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.

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 Tonbridge: questions

Can you survey in Tonbridge and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks and elsewhere in Kent are booked around installer availability.

Can you make a double gate?

Yes. Wide doorways can take a pair of gates or one large and one small leaf.

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.
