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.
Choices you can make
- Rigid hinged leaves of vertical bars
- Top-hung on a heavy track with bottom guides
- Neat folded stack for receptions and showrooms
- Mesh or solid infill panels on request
- Fold to one or both sides
- Lock box on the leading leaf plus shoot bolts

Getting the right bi-fold gate for your building
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.
Look
Bi-folds read as a screen rather than a lattice, which suits modern interiors.
What the rules say 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.
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 Skipton: questions
Can you survey in Skipton and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Skipton, Keighley, Colne and elsewhere in North Yorkshire are booked around installer availability.
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.
How wide can a bi-fold gate be?
From a single doorway up to several metres, split to fold both ways on wider openings.
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.
