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.
What you can specify
- Top-hung on a heavy track with bottom guides
- Rigid hinged leaves of vertical bars
- Black, anthracite and RAL colours
- Lock box on the leading leaf plus shoot bolts
- Neat folded stack for receptions and showrooms
- Mesh or solid infill panels on request
Fitting in Hove and nearby
We arrange surveys and fitting in Hove and across the BN3 postcode district, as well as in nearby Brighton (1 mile) and Portslade (2 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
East Sussex is known for Regency and Victorian terraces in Brighton, Hove, Eastbourne and Hastings, many in conservation areas, alongside Wealden villages.
Where bi-folding security gates are most often used:
- Office receptions and showrooms
- Loading doors and goods-in
- Wide internal openings
- Restaurant and bar frontages
What to think about first
Floor guide
A bottom guide keeps the leaves aligned. Recessed guides keep the floor flush.
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.
Consents and safety: 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 Hove: questions
Do you cover Brighton as well as Hove?
Yes. As well as Hove, we can arrange surveys in nearby Brighton, Portslade and Burgess Hill, and elsewhere in East Sussex.
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.
