Finish

External gates last longest when galvanised before powder coating.

Mesh infill

Bars alone may let someone reach through to a handle or lock. Mesh infill closes that gap.

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 Scunthorpe: questions

Can you survey in Scunthorpe and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Scunthorpe, Goole, Gainsborough and elsewhere in Lincolnshire 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.
