Pedestrian Side Gates in Enfield (EN1)
Pedestrian Side Gates in Enfield is a specific brief for us — single-leaf pedestrian gates matched into existing fencing runs. The default local answer isn't a stock catalogue drop: it's single leaf on ball-race hinges, thumb-latch and dead-locking hardware, closing stop and drop-bolt where security is a priority. On Enfield sites we also spec around high winds funnelled down the lea valley regularly knock over weaker panel fences, which is where a lot of pedestrian side gates jobs quietly fail two years in. Recent work on Baker Street and Lancaster Road. We orient jobs off Enfield Town Park. Baker Street rear boundary, dispute trigger. Closeboard with surveyed line agreed in writing. Defused a long-running argument with the neighbour about ownership.
