Floor guide
A bottom guide keeps the leaves aligned. Recessed guides keep the floor flush.
Consents and safety: England
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.
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.

Bi-folding security gates in Staines-upon-Thames: questions
Can you survey in Staines-upon-Thames and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Staines-upon-Thames, Egham, Ashford and elsewhere in Surrey are booked around installer availability.
How wide can a bi-fold gate be?
From a single doorway up to several metres, split to fold both ways on wider openings.
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.
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.
