What you can specify
- Rigid hinged leaves of vertical bars
- Neat folded stack for receptions and showrooms
- Lock box on the leading leaf plus shoot bolts
- Top-hung on a heavy track with bottom guides
- Mesh or solid infill panels on request

What to think about first
Look
Bi-folds read as a screen rather than a lattice, which suits modern interiors.
Floor guide
A bottom guide keeps the leaves aligned. Recessed guides keep the floor flush.
Consents and safety: Northern Ireland
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings in Northern Ireland need listed building consent for works affecting their character, with the council deciding and the Department for Communities' Historic Environment Division advising. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes.
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Northern Ireland, 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 Coleraine: questions
Do you cover Ballymoney as well as Coleraine?
Yes. As well as Coleraine, we can arrange surveys in nearby Ballymoney, Limavady and Ballymena, and elsewhere in County Londonderry.
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.
Can bi-fold gates be powder-coated to match our frames?
Yes, in most RAL colours.
