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
- Fold to one or both sides
- Black, anthracite and RAL colours
- Rigid hinged leaves of vertical bars
- Mesh or solid infill panels on request
- Lock box on the leading leaf plus shoot bolts
- Top-hung on a heavy track with bottom guides
Fitting in Wimbledon and nearby
We arrange surveys and fitting in Wimbledon and across the SW19 postcode district, as well as in nearby Morden (2 miles) and Mitcham (2 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Restaurant and bar frontages
- Office receptions and showrooms
- Loading doors and goods-in
- Garden room and orangery openings
Things to decide before you order
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.
Rules that apply in 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.
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.

Bi-folding security gates in Wimbledon: questions
Can you survey in Wimbledon and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Wimbledon, Morden, Mitcham and elsewhere in Greater London are booked around installer availability.
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.
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.
Can a bi-fold gate go outside?
Yes, with galvanised steel and an external-grade track, though most are fitted inside.
