Hinged security gates in Birmingham: what will it cost?
Our guide range for hinged security gates in Birmingham is £834 to £2,034 including VAT (£695 to £1,695 plus VAT) per gate, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.
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
- Heavy-duty hinges with anti-lift features
- Lock box with cylinder operable from one or both sides
- Mesh infill option for anti-reach-through
- Galvanised and powder-coated for external use
- Welded steel frame fixed into the opening
- Single, double and leaf-and-a-half layouts
Fitting in Birmingham and nearby
Surveys in Birmingham (B1) are booked around installer availability, as they are in nearby Smethwick (3 miles) and West Bromwich (5 miles).
The West Midlands is dominated by red-brick terraces and interwar semis, with dense high streets and a large stock of industrial and trade units.
Common openings for hinged security gates:
- Plant rooms and bin stores
- Gated recesses and alleys
- Commercial back doors and service entrances
- Rear doors where wall space is limited
Getting the right hinged gate for your building
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.
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
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.
