Hinged security gates in Litherland: what will it cost?
As a guide, hinged security gates in Litherland 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.

- Single, double and leaf-and-a-half layouts
- Mesh infill option for anti-reach-through

Getting the right hinged gate for your building
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.
Finish
External gates last longest when galvanised before powder coating.
What the rules say in England
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.
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 Litherland: questions
Can you survey in Litherland and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Litherland, Bootle, Maghull and elsewhere in Merseyside are booked around installer availability.
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.
Can hinged gates be fitted outside?
Yes. They are often fitted outside commercial back doors, galvanised and powder-coated for weather resistance.
