A gate may need to be incorporated into a glass balustrade for various reasons, such as helping to keep pets and children safe by preventing open access to steps, water or other hazards.
Glass gates provide the most cohesive look, maintaining a minimalist, timeless design throughout the project.
At BM Architectural, we provide solutions for both self-closing and free-swinging glass gates, and lockable / non-lockable latches.
Glass-to-glass installations are possible where a full height pane of glass is fitted with simple stainless steel hinges and attach to the glass of the balustrade each side.
At BM Architectural, we typically recommend a post, normally of stainless steel, is installed each side of the glass gate onto which the hinge and latch connections are made. Our fittings generally require a glass thickness of 8-10mm and 50mm diameter round posts. For other glass thicknesses, please contact our team on 0114 254 3226.
In addition to our own EazyGate brand of hinges and fittings, we also supply glass gate technologies from Polaris and MagnaLatch to complete a comprehensive range.
To discuss your glass gate ideas and requirements with an expert, give our team a call on 0114 254 3226. We’ll help identify the most appropriate systems to achieve your ambitions, and provide technical and sales support throughout order, supply and installation.

The Polaris 155 Series includes wall mounted, glass-to-glass or post-to-glass variants and is available in either a polished, satin or matt black finish. The hinges suit glass thicknesses of 8-12mm and come with a 3 year manufacturer’s warranty.
