As a guide, bi-folding security gates in Litherland cost £954 to £2,634 including VAT (£795 to £2,195 plus VAT) per opening, supplied and fitted. The exact figure depends on size, type, finish and locking, and is confirmed in writing after the free survey.

- Suits openings from a single door width to several metres
- Mesh or solid infill panels on request
- Lock box on the leading leaf plus shoot bolts
- Black, anthracite and RAL colours
- Fold to one or both sides

Look
Bi-folds read as a screen rather than a lattice, which suits modern interiors.
Consents and safety: 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.

Can bi-fold gates be powder-coated to match our frames?
Yes, in most RAL colours.
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.
