What is the price of bi-folding security gates in Ayr?
Budget £954 to £2,634 including VAT (£795 to £2,195 plus VAT) per opening for bi-folding security gates in Ayr, supplied and fitted. Size, number of leaves, colour and access all move the price, which is fixed in writing after the 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.

- Black, anthracite and RAL colours
- Rigid hinged leaves of vertical bars
- Mesh or solid infill panels on request
- Neat folded stack for receptions and showrooms

A bottom guide keeps the leaves aligned. Recessed guides keep the floor flush.
Planning and safety in Scotland
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Scotland, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.
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.

Bi-folding security gates in Ayr: questions
Can you survey in Ayr and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Ayr, Troon, Irvine and elsewhere in Ayrshire are booked around installer availability.
Can bi-fold gates be powder-coated to match our frames?
Yes, in most RAL colours.
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.
Do bi-fold gates need a floor track?
They need some bottom guidance, which can be a recessed channel or discreet floor pins rather than a raised track.
