Security Gates and Steel Work for Vasant Vihar Homes
Metal work in Vasant Vihar is built around a guarded entrance: a tall main gate with a pedestrian wicket, a vehicle gate that may be automated, grills on the guard room and staff quarters, and sometimes a spiral stair to the roof. All of it is fabricated to measure and quoted after a site visit.
Metal fabrication in Vasant Vihar starts from a different question than in most of Delhi. With so many homes let to missions, embassies and senior executives, the entrance is designed around a guard: someone who checks visitors, opens the gate for cars and needs to see out without the house being seen in. Gates, grills and the small structures around them follow from that.
The guarded entrance, piece by piece
| Style | Why it suits Vasant Vihar | Price |
|---|---|---|
| MS main gate | Tall solid leaves with a pedestrian wicket so the car gate stays shut | Quoted after visit |
| MS sliding gate | Wide driveways where a motorised leaf opens from the guard room | Quoted after visit |
| MS window grill | Guard rooms, staff quarters and ground-floor rear openings | Quoted after visit |
| MS spiral staircase | Access to a barsati or roof without passing through the house | Quoted after visit |
Wicket doors and viewing slots
A wicket door, a small pedestrian door cut into the main leaf, lets staff and visitors in without opening the vehicle gate. It needs its own frame, hinges and lock, and the leaf around it must be stiffened so it does not twist. A narrow viewing slot or a section of close-spaced bars at eye height lets the guard see the lane while sheet infill gives privacy everywhere else. An MS main gate built this way is heavier, which is why the hinges and pillar fixing are specified for the full weight.
Anti-climb tops
Security teams sometimes ask for a gate top that is hard to climb: pointed finials, a plain top with no horizontal toe-holds, or a gate taller than the wall beside it. We fabricate to what the household's security advisers request, within what the pillars can carry.
Automation, and what goes wrong with it
A motorised MS sliding gate opened from the guard room is common on wide plots. The track must be level and cleared of gravel; most sliding gates that get stuck have a bent track or a seized roller rather than a motor fault. Locks on gates that are opened dozens of times a day wear quickly too; see gate lock not working. The sliding gate automation guide explains sensors and manual release.
Behind the main house
Staff quarters, store rooms and the guard room usually sit along the rear or side boundary, with openings onto the service lane. An MS window grill on each one is standard. Many bungalows also have a barsati or roof room, and an external MS spiral staircase gives access without walking through the house.
Finishes that look after themselves
Mission tenants expect a gate that looks new for years. Powder coating holds colour better than paint, and for gates that sit in sprinkler spray, hot-dip galvanising under the coating stops rust starting inside. Where a decorative panel is wanted, a CNC laser-cut jaali gives a pattern while still blocking the view.
Booking around security
Share worker names and IDs with the household's security in advance, and agree welding hours. The ₹99 visit is usually arranged within 24 to 48 hours; a written quote follows in about 2 hours and stays valid for 3 days. A 50% advance starts fabrication, and the balance is paid on completion. The MS gate price guide shows what changes the price.

Common questions
Can you add a wicket door to our existing main gate?
Often, if the gate frame is sound and heavy enough. The wicket needs its own frame and lock, and the leaf around it must be stiffened so it does not sag. On a light or rusted gate, a new leaf is usually the better choice. We check the gate at the visit.
Can the gate design follow our embassy's security requirements?
Yes. Share the security team's brief, such as height, infill, viewing slots or anti-climb tops, and we fabricate to it, within what the pillars and hinges can safely carry. Access for the installation team is agreed with security in advance.
Motor wala sliding gate baar baar atak jata hai, kya wajah hai?
Usually the track is bent, dirty or out of level, or a roller has seized, which overloads the motor. Clearing and levelling the track and replacing worn rollers often fixes it. If the motor itself has failed, that is a separate repair. Send a video so we can see the problem.
How much does a guarded-entrance gate cost in Vasant Vihar?
There is no fixed rate. The price depends on the width and height, the steel sections, the infill, any wicket door, the finish and any motor or pillar work. After the ₹99 site visit you get a written, all-inclusive quote, valid for 3 days, with each item listed.
