Hinged security gates in Horley: what will it cost?
As a guide, hinged security gates in Horley cost £834 to £2,034 including VAT (£695 to £1,695 plus VAT) per gate, supplied and fitted. The exact figure depends on size, type, finish and locking, and is confirmed in writing after the free 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.

- Welded steel frame fixed into the opening
- Panic or push-to-exit hardware options for escape routes
- Mesh infill option for anti-reach-through
- Lock box with cylinder operable from one or both sides

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.
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
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.
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.

Hinged security gates in Horley: questions
Do you cover Crawley as well as Horley?
Yes. As well as Horley, we can arrange surveys in nearby Crawley, Redhill and Reigate, and elsewhere in Surrey.
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 you make a double gate?
Yes. Wide doorways can take a pair of gates or one large and one small leaf.
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.
