How much should I budget for bi-folding security gates in Banbury?
As a guide, bi-folding security gates in Banbury 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.
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
- Lock box on the leading leaf plus shoot bolts
- Top-hung on a heavy track with bottom guides
- Mesh or solid infill panels on request
- Black, anthracite and RAL colours
- Fold to one or both sides
- Suits openings from a single door width to several metres

What to think about first
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.
Infill
Add mesh or solid panels where you want to stop reach-through or hide the area behind.
Consents and safety: 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 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.

Bi-folding security gates in Banbury: questions
Can you survey in Banbury and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Banbury, Bicester, Daventry and elsewhere in Oxfordshire are booked around installer availability.
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.
