How much should I budget for bi-folding security gates in Hawarden?
Budget £954 to £2,634 including VAT (£795 to £2,195 plus VAT) per opening for bi-folding security gates in Hawarden, 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.
Choices you can make
- Rigid hinged leaves of vertical bars
- Fold to one or both sides
- Lock box on the leading leaf plus shoot bolts
- Top-hung on a heavy track with bottom guides
- Neat folded stack for receptions and showrooms
- Black, anthracite and RAL colours

What to think about first
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.
Infill
Add mesh or solid panels where you want to stop reach-through or hide the area behind.
Consents and safety: Wales
Grilles across exits in business premises
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, including to the common parts of blocks of flats and HMOs. The responsible person must keep escape routes and exits available and easy to open while people are present, so a grille across an exit should be open whenever the premises are occupied.
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Wales, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.

Bi-folding security gates in Hawarden: questions
Can you survey in Hawarden and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Hawarden, Deeside, Buckley and elsewhere in Clwyd are booked around installer availability.
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.
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.
