Things to decide before you order
Infill
Add mesh or solid panels where you want to stop reach-through or hide the area behind.
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.
Rules that apply 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 across exits in business premises
In workplaces and other non-domestic premises, including the common parts of blocks of flats and HMOs, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep escape routes and emergency exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be unlocked and parked open whenever the building is occupied, and covered in the fire risk assessment.

Bi-folding security gates in Harpenden: questions
Do you cover St Albans as well as Harpenden?
Yes. As well as Harpenden, we can arrange surveys in nearby St Albans, Luton and Hemel Hempstead, and elsewhere in Hertfordshire.
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.
Can a bi-fold gate go outside?
Yes, with galvanised steel and an external-grade track, though most are fitted inside.
Can bi-fold gates be powder-coated to match our frames?
Yes, in most RAL colours.
