- Mesh infill option for anti-reach-through
- Lock box with cylinder operable from one or both sides
- Heavy-duty hinges with anti-lift features
- Single, double and leaf-and-a-half layouts

- Commercial back doors and service entrances

What to think about first
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.

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.
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.

Hinged security gates in Ormskirk: questions
Do you cover Maghull as well as Ormskirk?
Yes. As well as Ormskirk, we can arrange surveys in nearby Maghull, Skelmersdale and Kirkby, and elsewhere in Lancashire.
Can you make a double gate?
Yes. Wide doorways can take a pair of gates or one large and one small leaf.
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.
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.
