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
- Lock box on the leading leaf plus shoot bolts
- Fold to one or both sides
- Top-hung on a heavy track with bottom guides
- Black, anthracite and RAL colours
- Suits openings from a single door width to several metres
- Rigid hinged leaves of vertical bars
Fitting in Blyth and nearby
We arrange surveys and fitting in Blyth and across the NE24 postcode district, as well as in nearby Ashington (4 miles) and Cramlington (4 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Northumberland is largely rural, with stone-built market towns such as Hexham and Alnwick and terraced former mining towns in the south-east.
Where bi-folding security gates are most often used:
- Loading doors and goods-in
- Wide internal openings
- Office receptions and showrooms
- Garden room and orangery openings
What to think about first
Look
Bi-folds read as a screen rather than a lattice, which suits modern interiors.
Floor guide
A bottom guide keeps the leaves aligned. Recessed guides keep the floor flush.
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.
