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.
What you can specify
- Welded steel frame fixed into the opening
- Lock box with cylinder operable from one or both sides
- Mesh infill option for anti-reach-through
- Hold-open hooks or stays
- Galvanised and powder-coated for external use
- Single, double and leaf-and-a-half layouts

Getting the right hinged gate for your building
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.
Finish
External gates last longest when galvanised before powder coating.
What the rules say in England
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 Yeovil: questions
Do you cover Bridport as well as Yeovil?
Yes. As well as Yeovil, we can arrange surveys in nearby Bridport, Dorchester and Shaftesbury, and elsewhere in Somerset.
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.
