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
- Neat folded stack for receptions and showrooms
- 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
- Lock box on the leading leaf plus shoot bolts

Getting the right bi-fold gate for your building
Floor guide
A bottom guide keeps the leaves aligned. Recessed guides keep the floor flush.
Infill
Add mesh or solid panels where you want to stop reach-through or hide the area behind.
What the rules say 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.
