How we build pedestrian side gates in Edgware
single leaf on ball-race hinges, thumb-latch and dead-locking hardware, closing stop and drop-bolt where security is a priority. On Edgware jobs we adjust for side-return access on edgware semis is genuinely narrow — long panels often have to come up over the garage.
Property mix locally: 1930s semis built around the Tube extension, plus newer flats near the town centre. Typical gardens: rectangular suburban gardens, mostly flat, often with mature fruit trees. Postcodes we regularly service: HA8.
