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.

This type of grille suits:
- Flat entrance doors
- Commercial back doors and service entrances
- Plant rooms and bin stores
- Rear doors where wall space is limited
Questions we will ask at the survey
Mesh infill
Bars alone may let someone reach through to a handle or lock. Mesh infill closes that gap.
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.
Planning and safety in 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 Cardiff: questions
Do you cover Penarth as well as Cardiff?
Yes. As well as Cardiff, we can arrange surveys in nearby Penarth, Caerphilly and Barry, and elsewhere in South Glamorgan.
Can hinged gates be fitted outside?
Yes. They are often fitted outside commercial back doors, galvanised and powder-coated for weather resistance.
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 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.
