Choices you can make
- Each side opens independently
- Pair of leaves meeting at a central lock
- Low-profile floor track
- Optional shoot bolts top and bottom
- Small stacks at each side of the doors
- Matches white, black or wood-effect frames

What the rules say in Northern Ireland
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Northern Ireland, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings in Northern Ireland need listed building consent for works affecting their character, with the council deciding and the Department for Communities' Historic Environment Division advising. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes.

French door grilles in Ballymena: questions
Can you survey in Ballymena and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Ballymena, Antrim, Magherafelt and elsewhere in County Antrim are booked around installer availability.
How long does it take to fit?
Usually two to three hours once the grilles arrive.
Do French door grilles need a floor track?
Usually a low-profile one, which keeps the grille rigid and is easy to step over.
My French doors open inwards. Can I still have a grille?
Yes. The grille is set back from the doors so they can swing open, or fitted outside if there is no room inside.
