Bi-folding security gates in Seaford

Bi-folding security gates in Seaford: what will it cost?

Most bi-folding security gates in Seaford fall within £954 to £2,634 including VAT (£795 to £2,195 plus VAT) per opening for supply and fitting. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey, before anything is ordered.

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

Lock box on the leading leaf plus shoot bolts
Mesh or solid infill panels on request
Top-hung on a heavy track with bottom guides
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

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.

What the rules say in England

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 Seaford: questions

Do you cover Eastbourne as well as Seaford?

Yes. As well as Seaford, we can arrange surveys in nearby Eastbourne, Hailsham and Brighton, and elsewhere in East Sussex.

How wide can a bi-fold gate be?

From a single doorway up to several metres, split to fold both ways on wider openings.

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.

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.
