Hinged security gates in Suffolk

Hinged security gates in Suffolk: what will it cost?

Budget £834 to £2,034 including VAT (£695 to £1,695 plus VAT) per gate for hinged security gates in Suffolk, supplied and fitted. Size, number of leaves, colour and access all move the price, which is fixed in writing after the survey.

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.

Getting the right hinged gate for your building

Finish

External gates last longest when galvanised before powder coating.

Mesh infill

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

What the rules say 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 Suffolk: questions

Which towns in Suffolk do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in Suffolk, including Ipswich, Lowestoft, Bury St Edmunds, Haverhill and Felixstowe, and in other towns across the area.

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.

Can hinged gates be fitted outside?

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