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.

Fitting in Portishead and nearby

Portishead is about 35 miles from Taunton, the main centre for Somerset. We can survey and fit across the BS20 district and in nearby places such as Nailsea and Clevedon.

Somerset ranges from Bath's Georgian stone terraces, almost all within a World Heritage Site, to Weston-super-Mare's seaside streets and Taunton's town centre.

Typical places for this kind of grille include:

Flat entrance doors
Rear doors where wall space is limited
Plant rooms and bin stores
Commercial back doors and service entrances

Things to decide before you order

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.

Rules that apply in England

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.

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 Portishead: questions

Can you survey in Portishead and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Portishead, Nailsea, Clevedon and elsewhere in Somerset are booked around installer availability.

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 hinged gates be fitted outside?

Yes. They are often fitted outside commercial back doors, galvanised and powder-coated for weather resistance.

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.
