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.
Choices you can make
- Welded steel frame fixed into the opening
- Mesh infill option for anti-reach-through
- Lock box with cylinder operable from one or both sides
- Single, double and leaf-and-a-half layouts
- Hold-open hooks or stays
- Heavy-duty hinges with anti-lift features

What to think about first
Finish
External gates last longest when galvanised before powder coating.
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.
Consents and safety: Wales
External grilles and planning
External grilles and shutters on commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the local planning authority. Welsh councils' shopfront and design guidance generally favours internal, see-through security over solid external shutters.
Grilles across exits in business premises
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, including to the common parts of blocks of flats and HMOs. The responsible person must keep escape routes and exits available and easy to open while people are present, so a grille across an exit should be open whenever the premises are occupied.

Hinged security gates in Tonypandy: questions
Do you cover Rhondda as well as Tonypandy?
Yes. As well as Tonypandy, we can arrange surveys in nearby Rhondda, Pontypridd and Aberdare, and elsewhere in Mid Glamorgan.
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.
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.
