Bi-folding security gates in Walsall: what will it cost?
As a guide, bi-folding security gates in Walsall 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.

Infill

A bottom guide keeps the leaves aligned. Recessed guides keep the floor flush.
What the rules say in 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.
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 Walsall: questions
Do you cover Bloxwich as well as Walsall?
Yes. As well as Walsall, we can arrange surveys in nearby Bloxwich, Wednesbury and Aldridge, and elsewhere in West Midlands.
Can bi-fold gates be powder-coated to match our frames?
Yes, in most RAL colours.
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.
How wide can a bi-fold gate be?
From a single doorway up to several metres, split to fold both ways on wider openings.
