French door grilles are usually a pair of retractable grilles that fold to each side of the doors and meet in the centre, where they lock together. They protect the glazing and the meeting stiles, which are the weak point of many French doors.
Choices you can make
- Small stacks at each side of the doors
- Each side opens independently
- Locks keyed alike with other grilles in the house
- Optional shoot bolts top and bottom
- Matches white, black or wood-effect frames
- Pair of leaves meeting at a central lock

A grille behind Juliet balcony doors needs to keep any required escape route usable.
Consents and safety: 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.
Bedroom and escape windows
Fire safety in new building work in Northern Ireland is covered by the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 and Technical Booklet E. Where a room relies on a window for escape, nothing fitted over it should stop it being used. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a keyless internal release.

French door grilles in Armagh: questions
Can you survey in Armagh and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Armagh, Portadown, Dungannon and elsewhere in County Armagh are booked around installer availability.
Can French door grilles open one side only?
Yes. Each leaf runs independently, so you can open one side and leave the other closed.
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.
