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.

Fitting in Canning Town and nearby
Canning Town is about 6 miles from Central London, the main centre for Greater London. We can survey and fit across the E16 district and in nearby places such as Stratford and Bow.
London's buildings range from Victorian and Edwardian terraces and mansion blocks to post-war estates, with long high streets of ground-floor shops below flats.
This type of grille suits:
- Garden room and orangery openings
- Office receptions and showrooms
- Restaurant and bar frontages
- Wide internal openings
Questions we will ask at the survey
Infill
Add mesh or solid panels where you want to stop reach-through or hide the area behind.
Look
Bi-folds read as a screen rather than a lattice, which suits modern interiors.
Planning and safety 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 Canning Town: questions
Do you cover Stratford as well as Canning Town?
Yes. As well as Canning Town, we can arrange surveys in nearby Stratford, Bow and Canary Wharf, and elsewhere in Greater London.
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.
How wide can a bi-fold gate be?
From a single doorway up to several metres, split to fold both ways on wider openings.
