Getting the right bi-fold gate for your building

Floor guide

A bottom guide keeps the leaves aligned. Recessed guides keep the floor flush.

Look

Bi-folds read as a screen rather than a lattice, which suits modern interiors.

What the rules say in England

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 Yeadon: questions

Can you survey in Yeadon and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Yeadon, Guiseley, Shipley and elsewhere in West Yorkshire 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.

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.
