Bi-folding security gates in Aberdeen

What is the price of bi-folding security gates in Aberdeen?

As a guide, bi-folding security gates in Aberdeen cost £954 to £2,634 including VAT (£795 to £2,195 plus VAT) per opening, supplied and fitted. The exact figure depends on size, type, finish and locking, and is confirmed in writing after the free survey.

A bi-folding security gate is made of hinged leaves of vertical bars that fold against each other as they slide along a top track. It covers wide openings like a retractable grille but folds into fewer, flatter panels with no scissor lattice.

Top-hung on a heavy track with bottom guides
Suits openings from a single door width to several metres

Garden room and orangery openings
Wide internal openings
Office receptions and showrooms

Questions we will ask at the survey

Folded stack size

Leaves stack flatter than a lattice but each leaf has a fixed width, so the stack is planned with the room layout.

Look

Bi-folds read as a screen rather than a lattice, which suits modern interiors.

Planning and safety in Scotland

Grilles across exits in business premises

In Scotland, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 make the duty holder keep escape routes and exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be open whenever the premises are occupied.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent for works affecting their character, decided by the council, with Historic Environment Scotland consulted on some cases. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes. Check with the council before ordering.

Bi-folding security gates in Aberdeen: questions

Do you cover Stonehaven as well as Aberdeen?

Yes. As well as Aberdeen, we can arrange surveys in nearby Stonehaven, Inverurie and Peterhead, and elsewhere in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray.

How wide can a bi-fold gate be?

From a single doorway up to several metres, split to fold both ways on wider openings.

What is the difference between a bi-fold gate and a retractable grille?

A retractable grille uses a scissor lattice that concertinas; a bi-fold gate uses rigid hinged leaves that fold flat. Bi-folds look more architectural; retractables fold into a narrower stack.
