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
- Suits openings from a single door width to several metres
- Rigid hinged leaves of vertical bars
- Top-hung on a heavy track with bottom guides
- Black, anthracite and RAL colours
- Fold to one or both sides
- Mesh or solid infill panels on request
Fitting in Glasgow and nearby
We arrange surveys and fitting across Glasgow and the G1 postcode district, and in nearby Rutherglen (3 miles), Bishopbriggs (3 miles) and Bearsden.
Greater Glasgow is known for sandstone tenements with ground-floor shops, Victorian city-centre buildings and Inverclyde's riverside towns.
Where bi-folding security gates are most often used:
- Wide internal openings
- Office receptions and showrooms
- Garden room and orangery openings
- Loading doors and goods-in
What to think about first
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.
Consents and safety: Scotland
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Scotland, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.
Grilles across exits in business premises
In Scotland, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 make the duty holder keep escape routes and exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be open whenever the premises are occupied.
