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
- Lock box on the leading leaf plus shoot bolts
- Rigid hinged leaves of vertical bars
- Mesh or solid infill panels on request
- Top-hung on a heavy track with bottom guides
- Black, anthracite and RAL colours
- Suits openings from a single door width to several metres

County Durham's stock is dominated by brick terraces in former colliery towns, alongside the listed historic core of Durham city and Teesside's commercial centres.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Garden room and orangery openings
- Wide internal openings
- Restaurant and bar frontages
- Office receptions and showrooms
Things to decide before you order
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.
Rules that apply in England
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings need listed building consent for works that affect their character, which can include internal grilles and their fixings. In conservation areas, councils look closely at anything fitted to the outside. We recommend speaking to the council's conservation officer before ordering.
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.

Bi-folding security gates in Seaham: questions
Do you cover Houghton-le-Spring as well as Seaham?
Yes. As well as Seaham, we can arrange surveys in nearby Houghton-le-Spring, Sunderland and Peterlee, and elsewhere in Durham.
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.
Can a bi-fold gate go outside?
Yes, with galvanised steel and an external-grade track, though most are fitted inside.
