Security & Access Gates in Hackney — Built for how the structure performs under real use, not a showroom drawing
Capital Fencing installs security access gates across Hackney and out toward islington and haringey. What separates a security access gates job from a standard boundary is the detail: hardwood driveway gates with anti-lift hinges, key-lockable drop bolt and prep for intercom cabling. That's the work, not the marketing. Recent work on Lower Clapton Road and Kingsland Road. We orient jobs off London Fields. London Fields rear boundary, shallow plot. 1.8m hit-and-miss panels with slotted concrete posts. Kept the garden bright while replacing a rotten solid boundary.

How we build security access gates in Hackney
steel or hardwood framed, anti-lift ball-race hinges, deadlocking hardware, cabling duct pre-run to the intercom position. On Hackney jobs we adjust for many boundaries are shared with three or four neighbours on victorian back-to-backs — clear ownership marks matter.
Property mix locally: Victorian terraces across Stoke Newington and De Beauvoir, plus post-war estates around Homerton and London Fields. Typical gardens: small rear gardens with mature planting; several plots border the Regent's Canal or Hackney Marshes. Postcodes we regularly service: E5, E8, E9, N1, N16.

Security & Access Gates FAQs — Hackney

Can you fit anti-lift hinges on a wooden gate?
