Bi-folding security gates in Camborne: what will it cost?
Our guide range for bi-folding security gates in Camborne is £954 to £2,634 including VAT (£795 to £2,195 plus VAT) per opening, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.
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.

- Fold to one or both sides
- Neat folded stack for receptions and showrooms
- Black, anthracite and RAL colours

Getting the right bi-fold gate for your building
Infill
Add mesh or solid panels where you want to stop reach-through or hide the area behind.
Floor guide
A bottom guide keeps the leaves aligned. Recessed guides keep the floor flush.
What the rules say in England
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission, because it does not materially change how the building looks from outside. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.
Grilles across exits in business premises
In workplaces and other non-domestic premises, including the common parts of blocks of flats and HMOs, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep escape routes and emergency exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be unlocked and parked open whenever the building is occupied, and covered in the fire risk assessment.

Bi-folding security gates in Camborne: questions
Can you survey in Camborne and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Camborne, Redruth, Falmouth and elsewhere in Cornwall are booked around installer availability.
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.
Can a bi-fold gate go outside?
Yes, with galvanised steel and an external-grade track, though most are fitted inside.
How wide can a bi-fold gate be?
From a single doorway up to several metres, split to fold both ways on wider openings.
