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

Single, double and leaf-and-a-half layouts
Welded steel frame fixed into the opening
Panic or push-to-exit hardware options for escape routes
Galvanised and powder-coated for external use
Lock box with cylinder operable from one or both sides
Hold-open hooks or stays

What to think about first

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.

Mesh infill

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

External grilles and planning

External grilles and shutters on commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the council under the Scottish planning system. Councils' shopfront guidance commonly prefers internal, open-mesh security, particularly in conservation areas and town centres.

Grilles across exits in business premises

In Scotland, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 make the duty holder keep escape routes and exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be open whenever the premises are occupied.

Hinged security gates in Blairgowrie: questions

Do you cover Perth as well as Blairgowrie?

Yes. As well as Blairgowrie, we can arrange surveys in nearby Perth, Dundee and Pitlochry, and elsewhere in Perth and Kinross.

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.

Can you make a double gate?

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