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
Neat folded stack for receptions and showrooms

Fitting in Leicester and nearby

We arrange surveys and fitting across Leicester and the LE1 postcode district, and in nearby Oadby (3 miles), Wigston (4 miles) and Loughborough.

Questions we will ask at the survey

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.

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 Leicester: questions

Do you cover Oadby as well as Leicester?

Yes. As well as Leicester, we can arrange surveys in nearby Oadby, Wigston and Loughborough, and elsewhere in Leicestershire.

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.
