What to think about first

Finish

External gates last longest when galvanised before powder coating.

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.

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 Tyne and Wear: questions

Which towns in Tyne and Wear do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in Tyne and Wear, including Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland, South Shields, Gateshead and Washington, and in other towns across the area.

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 you make a double gate?

Yes. Wide doorways can take a pair of gates or one large and one small leaf.
