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
Suits openings from a single door width to several metres
Neat folded stack for receptions and showrooms
Mesh or solid infill panels on request
Fold to one or both sides

Suffolk has timber-framed and listed buildings in its market towns, Ipswich's Victorian terraces and waterfront, and coastal towns such as Lowestoft.

Typical places for this kind of grille include:

Office receptions and showrooms
Garden room and orangery openings
Wide internal openings
Loading doors and goods-in

Things to decide before you order

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.

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 Newmarket: questions

Do you cover Haverhill as well as Newmarket?

Yes. As well as Newmarket, we can arrange surveys in nearby Haverhill, Cambridge and Bury St Edmunds, and elsewhere in Suffolk.

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 bi-fold gates be powder-coated to match our frames?

Yes, in most RAL colours.

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.
