Commercial Gates

Commercial gates provide controlled entrances for working premises, with mesh or palisade infill and a choice of opening arrangements. UK Metal Gates manufactures to measure at our Barking workshop, bringing fabrication, powder coating and an installation team together in-house. Established in 1993, we supply British-made gates for commercial and industrial sites.

Commercial entrances and the sites we supply

These gates serve schools, industrial units, car parks and councils, as well as healthcare and managed properties. Past work includes GP surgeries, NHS hospital sites and premises managed by landlords. The entrance, its infill and its operation belong in the same discussion: start with the opening you need to control, then consider the surrounding boundary.

For a broader choice beyond commercial mesh and palisade, explore our entrance gate hub. Residential access has its own driveway gate guide, while the aluminium gate range provides a separate material route.

Sliding gates for industrial access

Mesh and palisade sliding gates offer a sliding opening with the infill suited to your premises. Both have dedicated categories above, so you can compare the two product families without mixing them into a general driveway selection.

Our manufactured designs include bi-fold and swing gates. Sliding options cover telescopic, corner sliding and cantilever sliding arrangements. Tell us which arrangement you are considering when requesting a survey. Our metal sliding gate category covers that wider opening type; this commercial range concentrates on mesh and palisade entrances.

Mesh gates and welded infill

Mesh gates use welded mesh within the gate framework. Browse the mesh category for its designs, including double gates, and keep the selected design alongside your measurements when enquiring. One mesh double-gate design specifies slide latches, drop bolts and padlock provision; those details describe that design rather than an assumed specification for every entrance.

A 3 m wide commercial metal gate starts from £700. Discuss your intended gate with us to establish the specification for your opening.

Palisade gates and perimeter fencing

Palisade gates use pales as their infill, with double and sliding designs grouped separately. Choose the gate family first, then consider how it relates to the fence along the rest of the site.

Palisade fencing and mesh fencing are both available through the categories above. Bringing the entrance and fence run into one enquiry lets us discuss the boundary together, including an anti-climb or high-security requirement, instead of treating the gate as an isolated item.

Galvanised finish and RAL colour

The range includes products described as galvanised and RAL powder coated. Every RAL colour is available, with powder coating carried out in-house. Include your colour choice when sending the opening details so it forms part of the conversation before manufacture.

Locking, motors and access control

Our gates have box-section rails and uprights, hinges, a low-level drop bolt and a secondary latch or locking bracket positioned at hand height. For broader entrance protection topics, see our security gate guide.

Automatic commercial gates combine a motor with safety sensors, a control box and remote control. We offer DEA, CAME, FAAC and Nice motors, either fitted to a gate or supplied separately. Key card access, a safety edge and intercoms with audio or video are available as upgrades. The electric gates cost guide explains the wider automation topic.

Survey, manufacture and installation

We survey and install commercial gates, as well as offering supply and nationwide delivery. Our survey uses measurements and images taken by our team; a drawn plan follows before manufacturing and installation. Fabrication capacity extends to 15 m in length and 4 m in height.

Allow 2–4 weeks, depending on workload. Our UK delivery and installation coverage page gives the location routes. Continuing trade customers can discuss a trade account and trade discount with us.
